HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Brewster F2A Buffalo was an American fighter aircraft which saw service early in World War II. Designed and built by the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation, it was one of the first U.S. monoplanes with an arrestor hook and other modifications for aircraft carriers. The Brewster F2A-3 Buffalo was the final production variant of the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter. Heavier and bulkier than its predecessors, it featured increased fuel capacity, pilot armour, and self-sealing tanks but this added weight ruined its manoeuvrability and landing gear stability. By the time the U.S. entered World War II, it was largely outclassed by enemy fighters like the Japanese Zero
This dumpy little fighter aircraft makes its Oxford appearance here as it served with the VMF-221 US Marine Corps in Hawaii in 1941. Despite its dark sea grey upper body and pale grey underside, it looks very patriotic with red, white and blue US decals featuring prominently on the fuselage, wings and rudder. Its numbering 221-MF-6 is printed in black along both sides of the fuselage. A finite authentic detail also sees the black gun sight placed in front of the clear cockpit frame.
