Books/websites on Finnish Air Force

[Octavius]

I'm in the process of researching possible topics for a paper in a WWII era history class.  I have chosen the Finnish involvement in World War II.  Specifically air combat from 1939-1940 involved in the Winter War.  (Brewsters, Hurricanes, LaGGs and MiGs.

My university has TONS of books/resources (largest library in the midwest I believe), however, I was unable to find any specific books on the Finnish air power and have turned to the visitors of this forum for some info.

Any particular scholarly books or website (footnotes, sources, etc) will speed up my research and be greatly appreciated.  

Just searching Google, I found these links:

Thanks in advance!

Those planes did not fight in Winter War.

Brewsters were only arriving at the end of the conflict. Hurricanes arrived but became operational just two days before the end.

Soviets did not have LaGGs or MiGs yet.

Finnish primary planes were Fokker D.XXI, Gladiator and Blenheim.

Soviets primarily used I-15, I-16, SB-2 and DB-3.
