Video Description

Often mocked as one of the worst fighters of World War II, the Brewster Buffalo’s story is predictably more complicated. This video examines its design, combat record, the myths and the marketing that shaped its reputation — revealing why it was both a disaster in the Pacific and a legend in Finnish skies. Sources: "Brewster Buffalo Aces Of World War 2" is an easy and an interesting read, although it lacks technical depth about the aircraft "Buffaloes Over Singapore" is similar to the above, but in more depth on the combat record. I enjoyed it. "F2A Buffalo", by Waldemar Pajdosz has good technical detail but isn't available in English and is a bit of a winding road from a narrative perspective "F2A Buffalo In Action" is long out of print, but a good balance of technical information and combat stories
