The Brewster Buffalo was an American single-engine carrier-based fighter used in the early stages of World War II. The version used by squadron VMF-221 (United States Marine Corps) became notable during the Battle of Midway in 1942. Despite being outdated and suffering heavy losses, VMF-221 pilots bravely faced overwhelming Japanese forces. The Buffalo featured an enclosed cockpit, retractable landing gear, and was armed with four machine guns.
