Brewster ran into quality control issues with their Corsairs and discontinued production as you know. The aircraft were supposed to be stateside only for training as they had a few aircraft shed wings I think. The Brewster Corsairs were randomly photographed, and the only one I know of late war is an air to air shot over USMCAS El Toro, 1944 of an F3A-1 with a 1A canopy. All were probably stricken. There is supposed to be one survivor, but it is a project and currently in the "black world". Maybe someday it will be able to be recognised for the unique survivor it is.
