F2F Brewster Buffalo American Coffin, Russian Nightmare?

The F2F Brewster Buffalo had a bad reputation in the Pacific, the Marines referred to them as flying coffins. American Pilots would score only 11 aerial victories with the F2F. Contrary to the Americans, the Finn's scored 32 victories for every Buffalo lost. 36 Finnish Pilots would become aces in the F2F. Below is the F2F and the Later Bf 109-G that replaced it for the Finns. (note the Swastika on the Finnish Aircraft is not a Nazi symbol, but a marking used by the Finnish Military all the way into the 2000's) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_F2A_Buffalo
