RAF Brewster Buffalo
From the Blogger archive: RAF Brewster Buffalo
The Brewster Buffalo fared better against the Nakajima Ki-27 (Nate). 6 were shot down over Sumatra.

The Nakajima Ki-43 (Oscar) proved too formidable for the slow and heavy Buffalos. 
The poorly equiped RAF depended on the slow and heavy Brewster Buffalo fighter to defend Malaya. The fighter didnt stand a fighting chance against the more agile Japanese fighters.
