When my late father was a GM on the USS Wasp (CV-7)three years before Pearl Harbor (it was sunk by a Jap sub in 1942)he told me about the F2A Brewster Buffalos the carrier had.

It was a total turkey and the only kills it scored was when the Finns used them against even worse Russian turkeys in the early days of WWII.

Actually according to the Japanese some of the USMC Buffalo's got kills over Midway. Unfortunately none of the pilots survived long enough to paint the meatballs on their sides. A 100% casualty rate usually sufficient to put an aircraft near the bottom of the list.
