Claim: Brewster Aeronautical Corporation's Buffalos were exported to the United Kingdom for the battles in the Far East but were inferior to the Japanese Zeros manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company.
Evidence: The United Kingdom also received Buffalos, which eventually ended up in the Far East. They suffered badly in combat against Japanese Zeros. The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" was a long-range fighter aircraft formerly manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945.
