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?I have numerous Buff photos, unfortunately they aren't from ebay.
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 That is to prevent book copy without source and the main reason, new unpublished shots.Why is that unfortunate?

Are you suggesting German propaganda was wrong?!!!!
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.
And nobody sees how big the buff in comperison with the japanese soldiers is. Nor that they are not armed for that matter.
That's just crazy talk.. No need for everyone to walk around armed to the teeth.
That's just crazy talk.
