Historical Background and Usage

The Brewster Model 239 Buffalo arrived in Finland in the early 1940s, as part of military equipment purchases made by the Finnish Air Force to strengthen defenses against Soviet aggression. These aircraft participated in the Winter War and continued in service against the USSR during the so-called Continuation War. Finnish pilots flew them with great success, earning the Buffalo recognition as a relatively light and maneuverable fighter that was effective against numerically superior opponents. The Finnish Air Force operated the Model 239 between 1940 and 1945, marking the World War II period.
