Hi All,

The Brewster Buffalo was a Navy/Marine fighter, mid 30s early 40s.  Got beat
up badly by just about anything else that flew according to accounts. Wasn't
used by the Army that I have heard.  Also only had one seat.  Don't see how
you would squeeze a BC-224 into it.

                      ^^^^^^^

Probably the "Brewster Buffalo", which I gather was considerably
less than highly-regarded.
