Description
B.239 Brewster Buffalo of the Finnish Air Force during the Continuation War 1941-44. For many a decade I was under the impression that Buffaloes were the worst fighter of WW2 based on their miserable performance against the Imperial Japanese air forces in 1941-42. Then I learned that in Finnish hands it had a kill ratio of 20-to-1 against (early) Soviet aircraft (caveat, caveat, caveat). This stubby little brute in this configuration and color scheme is now one of my favorite fighter aircraft of WW2
You learn something new every day.
