In the 42nd year (Showa 42), at the beginning of the war, the Japanese military captured

the F2A Buffalo fighter aircraft

During the Malaya Campaign and Dutch East Indies Campaign, multiple aircraft were captured and sent to the Army Aviation Experimental Department, where performance tests were conducted. The evaluation in Japan was low, with all performance aspects inferior to Japanese aircraft, and it was assessed as lacking any innovative technology. Later, it was used in film shooting.
