A shortage of Wright Cyclone engines forced the Dutch to supply Brewster with 24 used
engines to go with the forty-eight new engines Brewster had. The planes produced with
used 1100 hp engines were designated “C” and the new 1200 hp engine models were
“D”. Lt. August G. Deibel was a member of the ML-KNIL, Royal Dutch East Indies Military
Aviation. With 3 confirmed kills, himself shot down twice and wounded twice he received
the Militaire Willemsorde (highest Dutch decoration, only given for extreme high bravery
during wartime).

The Dutch B339C and D were basically a version of the F2A-2 without the arrestor hook
and a few other naval add ons. This version also came equipped with a large fixed tail
wheel a 10-foot 3-inch uncuffed Curtiss Electric propeller. The armament was a bit
different from the B and E versions having only 2 x .303 inch 7.7 mm guns along with 2 x
.50 inch 12 mm guns instead of 4 x .50 inch 12 mm guns. Although ordered with armored
glass wind-screens, reflector gun sights, self-sealing fuel tanks and gun heaters most
planes arrived from the factory with any of these items installed. Over time these parts
were made available and were installed in the field.
