Umm, gents, that is NOT a Nazi skin but Finnish. Based out on the LeLv26, note the color of the swastika is blue and not black/red.

From what I remember, the swastika was used by the Finns long before the Nazi's decided to use it. Heck, even the Boy Scouts used it as a good luck charm.

THe Russians were given well over 1000 Spits, Vs and IXs during the course of the war through lend lease.

They most definately were flying them in combat.

The Norwegiens also flew the spit fire.  Does anyone know what other planes they flew?
