Brewster F2A-2 Buffalo: The Navy's Brewster F2A-2 Buffalo did not prove to be a particularly effective fighter aircraft, but that did not prevent countries such as England, Finland, and Australia from operating version of the Buffalo. This F2A-2 arrived at Langley from the factory by truck in 1942, and was sent to NAS Norfolk two years later.
