The item on the top of the F3F wing is a gunnery training camera (not a combat gun camera). It was used on other Navy fighters/dive bombers at the time as well, such as Vindicators, Devastators, SBC Helldivers (the biplane version), Brewster Buffaloes, etc. - all seen with great clarity in the 1941 movie "Dive Bomber" as well. Those cameras were used for scoring pilots on their gunnery accuracy on training flights. Actual combat gun cameras were much smaller, and mounted internally on the next generation of US military aircraft.

It was previously discussed here (with photos): http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?88348-Question-about-Brewster-F2A-Buffalo
