Mens flyfans og spillere kan være enig om at være uenig i, "Hvilket allierede jagerfly, der var det bedste under 2. verdenskrig?", Så er det ofte når de bliver spurgt om, "Hvilken var det værste?", at den korte Brewster "Buffalo" altid placere sig tæt på toppen af enhver liste.
Selvom flyet angiveligt var en fornøjelse at flyve oprindeligt, blev vægten en faktor, da man på et tidspunkt udrustede det med panser, nye maskingevær, selvforseglende gastanke, radio og de andre dele af moderne udstyr, så det til sidst mistede både hastighed og manøvredygtighed.
Modsat dens fiasko overalt i Stillehavet, fløj Finnerne den "u-modificerede" version og elskede det.
I de første måneder af Fortsættelseskrigen "The Continuation War", overmatched de finske Brewster's alt i det sovjetiske luft arsenal, og flyene var stadig i brug gennem midten af 1944.

Buffalo Wings is a stand-alone game of tactical air combat over Finland in WWII from Against the Odds Magazine. It expands the fighting series of WWII air combat games designed by J.D. Webster and published by Clash of Arms Games.
While air aficionados and gamers may have friendly disagreements about, "What was the best Allied fighter of WWII?", when asked, "Which was the worst?” the stubby Brewster "Buffalo" always comes near the top of any list.
Though reportedly a pleasure to fly originally, by the time it was weighted down with armor, guns, self-sealing gas tanks, radio, and the other bits of modern equipment, it lost both speed and maneuverability.
A dismal failure all over the Pacific, the Finns flew the “unmodified” versions and loved it. In the early months of "The Continuation War," the Finnish Brewsters scored heavily against everything in the Soviet air arsenal, and the planes were still in use through the middle of 1944.
