Hi everyone, I have not posted here often and this is my first thread so I apologize if I've placed this incorrectly.

I am researching the Vultee V-11 and it's variants. I am hitting a brick wall in terms of documentation for the V-11GB2F. I am looking for photos, 3 view drawings, historical info on the variant, production dates, any written down specifications (especially performance figures compared to the V-11GB), and the fate of the sole GB2F prototype after it was rejected by the Brazilians. Google has done what it can, but the scant helping of low quality photos and scans are not enough for my purposes.

Thank you.

"Export suffixes: 30 V-11G to China in 1937-38; 4 -11GB to USSR [NR17328/17329 and 2 unregistered] along with some EDO sets to transform them into -11GBS seaplane and -11GBF floatplane attack bombers—31 more were built under license in USSR, but later converted as mail carriers; 40 -11GB to Turkey redesignated -11GBT; 26 -11GB to Brazil 1938-39 as -11GB2, the last of which was modified with EDO floats as 11GB2F for the Brazilian Navy, as also was prototype [NX21719] in hopes of civil sales, which didn't occur."

Interesting, I will need to look into the -11GBS and -11GBF as well then. I had no idea there was more than one produced. Thank you.
