Were the Brewster Bermuda and Vultee Vengeance useful only as target tugs?
Short answerThe Vengeance was effective as a dive bomber in Burma and Australian service; the same claim is not made for the Bermuda.
NotesThe Vultee Vengeance was useful as a dive bomber in the Burma campaign and in Australian service. Describing it solely as a target tug overlooks that operational record. Its service in Asia receives less attention, helping explain why its combat contribution is less familiar. This correction concerns the Vengeance and does not establish an equivalent combat record for the Brewster Bermuda.
