Calling Mark Horan
Hi everyone.
I do not know if Mark E Horan frequents this board, but if someone is in contact with him, I am interested in a recent post he made on another board, where I am not a member.
One of the intriguing failures of the RAF and Royal Navy was to make the most of the US aircraft they got in 1940, especially the carrier fighters (Brewster Buffalo and Grumman Martlet).
18 Buffalos were sent to Alexandria for use abord the Eagle. Apparently Horan has a report prepared by Commander Keighly-Peach rejecting the Buffalo. Now, the Brewster Buffalo enjoyes the privilege of having the most exhaustive website of any aircraft I know off. The Annals of the Brewster Buffalo, maintained by the American author Daniel Ford. This report really should be there.
yours hopefully.
