Brewster Buffalo Series Pt 9: Malaya-Singapore Pt 1 

Of all the sites discussing the Buffalo your presentation is by far superior. Great research Mark, keep up the good work mate!

Outstanding video , looking forward to more !

You've blessed us yet again. Keep it up, your work is top notch!!

Very well done. .

Thank you for a great video .

I think the reason we are so fascinated with the early Pacific war is that it is very like a war game scenario up until and maybe including Coral Sea. All the pieces are on the board and major reinforcement impulse is many turns away. The only differences can be how you deploy your chits and what random chance cards you pull. Coral Sea was May 4, 1942 - May 8, 1942. Corregidor surrendered on May 6, 1942 and hostilities on Mindanao came to an end after that.

More Buffalo please!

How can this excellent channel have too low of a number of subs?

Keep up the good work 😊

Again, great vid Mr. 7. The circumstances for the military disaster in Malaya and at Singapore and immediately after (of the 40+ evacuation ships that set out from Singapore in the final days only 1 or 2 escaped the IJN blockade) were engendered in Government halls in London months, years and perhaps decades prior. In Dec 1941 Britain had been at war for 25 months. Britain's priority theaters were air and territorial defense of Britain and the Battle of the Atlantic keeping shipping lanes to Britain viable (these were inviolate). The North African and Mediterranean campaigns (really defense of ME Oil and shipping lanes to and from India), and the Arctic convoys to keep the USSR in the war. Whatever was or wasn't happening or might happen in the Far East was a distant 4th. Not only was this evidenced by the allocation of military resources but in the allocation of effective (or ineffective) military and civilian leadership. Percival was ground forces commander in Malaya and there were more or less equivalent Air and Naval commanders as well as several higher echelon commanders. Combine this with Percival also being an incompetent General (or not really a general at all but rather a torture i.e., his time in Ireland) failure in the Far East was inevitable.

Great information on a very underrated aviation subject and excellent overview/ tutorial on a part of WWII most Americans are unaware of or only partly aware of. Keep up the great work! Always interested in any subject you cover. A great series of books written on the subject is Bloody Shambles by Christopher Shores, an excellent resource.

No contest against the .mitsubishi Zero.

Excellent video.
