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 without any of these items installed. Over time these parts were made available and were installed in the field.

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).
