The Brewster 339 Buffalo is an American-made fighter that, in its B and C versions, was exported to Allied countries before and at the beginning of World War II. The 339B and 339C versions were particularly known for their role during the Malayan campaign, the defense of the Dutch East Indies, as well as the air battles over Finland, where Finnish pilots successfully used it against Soviet fighters. Despite some shortcomings when facing newer designs, pilots valued it for its ease of handling and good maneuverability.
