Brewster Buffalo: in Dutch service

www.warbirdforum.com

The B-339D used by the KNIL was the same as the F2A-3 used by the US navy. Even in April 1942 Buffaloes were made in America with the orange triangles, but it was too late to deliver them. Out of 92 ordered planes likely only 50 had been delivered. At the start of the war there were 30 planes operational and short after that another 20 arrived in Dutch east Indies. These last were B-439's, but what is remarkable, the registration numbers existed out of four digits, like B-3113, B-3119, B-3122 etc. They did not fit in the normal registration-system of the KNIL. It is possible that the true strength of the KNIL had to be camouflaged by these high numbers.

It goes without being said that any post with a Buff in it gets bacon from me.

Why is that unfortunate?

 

[Snautzer01]

Why is that unfortunate?

Let me answer. Most of my post in specific aritplanes etc are pictures from eBay. That is to prevent book copy without source and the main reason, new unpublished shots.

I missed putting in the eBay part in the title for this one (corrected today) but mjfur is a visiteur of said threads so he knows what i am attending to do i think.
If he wishes he is very free to create his own threads offcourse.

Very, VERY minor nitpick but AN194 only ever flew with 21 Sqn RAAF. It was lost during the evacuation of Sungei Patani, 8-11 Dec 1941. The merged unit 21/453 Sqn was only formed after the Commonwealth Air Forces pulled out of Malaya entirely at the end of Dec 1941.

Are you suggesting German propaganda was wrong?!!!!

 

[buffnut453]

Are you suggesting German propaganda was wrong?!!!!

No, I'm not suggesting at all. I'm stating!

Aside from the (minor) squadron allocation snag, the German title for the photo is WAY off-mark. AN194 never flew in Burma. Singapore? Yes. Malaya? Yes. Burma? NEVER!!!!

I'm done ranting now.

 

[Greg Boeser]

A caption from 1942 German propaganda can be excused for being wrong. They didn't have all the facts.
What I find offensive is when a caption like that turns up in a modern publication.

Agree entirely...I was only messing around.

Also agree when authors are lazy and simply repeat the mistakes of the past. There was a long thread on Britmodeller a while ago about the colour photos of Blenheims taken in Singapore in 1941. The airframes all wore the PT codes of 27 Sqn but a book published in the 1960s mistakenly associated one of them with the airframe which Arthur Scarf flew during his VC mission. The original caption was totally incorrect, as proven by the Operations Record Books for both 27 and 62 Sqns...but the mistake persists and has been repeated scores of times.

And nobody sees how big the buff in comperison with the japanese soldiers is. Nor that they are not armed for that matter.

Why would they be armed? They were on an airfield that had been taken and secured, and from which IJAAF aircraft were operating. No need for everyone to walk around armed to the teeth.

That's just crazy talk.
