Re: Airacobras in Tunisia
The worst aspect of the Brewster Buffalo was the Brewster. By that I mean the Buffalo would have benefitted tremendously from a more experienced "parents". I have never understood the praise the F4F is given considering it didn´t have significantly better performance, armament (since the F2A had two of the guns in fuselage I think it in fact better) and had relatively heavy control forces. On the other hand, the Buffalo´s handling was praised by all FAF pilot accounts I have seen. The weakish undercarriage did cause some problems in FAF service as well, but surely it could have been improved, had there been the will to do so (here a more experienced "parents" would have been beneficial.
