Boom Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 More info for lovers (me especially) of the stubby Brewster Buffalo. Goes into quite good detail as to why it proved so successful in the hands of the Finns, but so poorly in British and American use. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Here is a really interesting Report written by Squadron Leader William John Harper RAF, who (first) commanded 453 Squadron RAAF and then 21/453 Squadrons when combined in the latter part of Malayan campaign. Beside the interesting information contained therein on the performance and limitations of the Buffalo as a fighter aircraft in Theatre, it also provides a window into the petty command conflicts that existed between British and Australian/New Zealand personal. It just goes to show that the British of that period had no idea how to handle Anzac servicemen!
