Brakes are OK, but you don't want to use brakes when the tail is still
up on a wheel landing (as compared to a 3-point landing) - expecially so
close to touchdown. If you look closely at this video of the landing
you'll see smoke coming from the left wheel almost immediately on
contact with the runway. I suspect the pilot inadvertently had the
brakes applied as he landed and didn't just "touch the brakes". It *is*
possible that there was a malfunction and the brakes locked up but that
seems pretty remote. In any case, he shouldn't have been on the brakes
at all in that phase of the landing sequence.

I don't think they'll meet much resistance from the USAF:

I always said you shouldn't put breaks on biplanes...
