  1. The buffalo was a decent aircraft when used in any cold conditions as it's only real problem was overheating.... As for the fins... the factory should have requested the construction of a small aluminium plant exclusively for aviation and also a supply of at least 50 engines every 2 years to give national security of production... the outlay would have been quite minimal for the return.... as for glue problems.. they most likely over relied on glue and not stitching... as we found in scotland even with high quality glues exposure will soon defeat tem without a secondary securment method if prolonged winter conditions are encountered .. also I suspect that aircraft shelters and maintenance were neglected and could have been easily provided for with no strategic penalty simply having wooden shelters and heated areas etc.... all easily predicted... a pity given the incredible efforts by the brave pilots..
