To the extent that it is known, the F2A Brewster Buffalo tends to be a much-maligned airplane, with its brief record in Allied service not terribly glorious. The author of this book begs to differ, and notes that the plane did have a decent record, for the time, in trained hands, and its terrible record at Midway was the result of sending green pilots against Zero-based experts. The author notes that the plane did have a 2:1 kill ratio in the East Indies before getting overwhelmed by numbers, and in Finnish hands, the plane did well. Likely one of the very view detailed studies of this plane that you'll see. ( )
