08/15/2008. Original built as the USN carrier fighter XF2A-1 that flew for the first on December 2, 1937, it was re-engined in 1939 with an 1,200 hp Wright Cyclone R-1820-40 air-cooled nine-cylinder radial engine replacing the earlier 950hp XR-1820-22. The F2A became commonly known as the Buffalo, its British service name.
