Built by Brewster Aeronautical Corporation, the Brewster F2A Buffalo is an American fighter aircraft introduced in April 1939. Its first flight occurred on December 2, 1937. It was the first monoplane fighter aircraft used by the US Navy, and it saw limited service during World War II. It was no match for the Japanese Zero earning it the nickname ''flying coffin.'' The plane retired in 1948. There are only 3 surviving Buffalos, of which two are just replicas. Most of the Buffalos were sold off for scrap or service in other countries due to its poor construction.

The F2 Buffalo had a wingspan of 10.7m, length of 7.9m, and height of 3.63m. Powered by a Wright R- 1820-34 Cyclone engine, it could fly at a maximum speed of 301 mph. It was equipped with a .30 caliber Browning AN machine gun and .50 caliber M2 Browning machine gun. It had a range of 1,600 km and could fly up to 33,000 ft.
