Were Buffalos part of the CVWs, or just with the Marines?
Ya gotta give some credit to those baby-blue swastikas.The Finns actually made very good use of the Buffalos vs the Russians.

We're at least to 168 if not 169Blows my mind we went to 150k+ in the first 50 years of naval aviation and then only to 166xxx since then.
From 1917 to 1935 they went to 9999. From 1940-1945 they started again and went from 00001 to 99999, and continued to 170000+ today. Of course a lot of those numbers were assigned to aircraft orders that were cancelled and never delivered.Blows my mind we went to 150k+ in the first 50 years of naval aviation and then only to 166xxx since then.
