Historical Note Cont'd:   The F-2A Buffalo, also called as Brewster Buffalo or Brewster F2A, is a single seat carrier-based fighter known for its portly barrel shape. It was primarily used by United States Navy and Ilmavoimat. It was an American fighter plane used by the independent states against Allies and Axis powers who took part in World War II.

The F2A Buffalo was manufactured by Brewster Aeronautical Corporation which entered the aviation market in 1930s. It was designed by Dayton Brown and R.D. MacCart and its maiden flight was on the 2nd of December 1937. It was introduced in April 1939 and retired in 1948.

The F-2A was called by other Americans as flying coffins because of its poor construction and performance. Still the F2A Buffalo proved itself capable in the Finnish Air Force battle with the Red Air Force. The Buffalo was later replaced by the F4F Wildcats after the battle of Midway where most of the pilots suffered heavy casualties. The F-2A then became second-line or reserved carriers.
