This is like the "There's no such thing as RPMs" post.
Most peeps use "buffs" as a generic bomber term. WRONG
If taken literally it refers to Big Ugly Fat "effers" (not gonna spell it out).
Traditionally it refers ONLY to the B-17, an ungainly bird. Before AH1 days I had *only* ever heard it used for the B-52 (which is another ungainly bird, as well), but recently (perhaps the influx of newbies? Hell, I don't know why! I'm just reporting it!) people have been calling Ju88s and all level bombers "buffs".
THIS IS WRONG! Most of the bombers are NOT big, NOT ugly, and are rather graceful.
The term BUFF only applies to B-17s! Deal!
... Silly mortals... When will they ever learn...
