Rogerdee it is absolutely gorgeous!

The Brewsters played a very important part in the early portion of WWII

Some were based in rangoon (RAF) before the AVG got to China.

The Finns used them with great success!

It would be a most welcome addition to Aces High (as would many other early warbirds)

Maybe the Americans though so, but the Finns kicked Soviet tomato in them during the Winter War. Many of the top scoring aces of the war were Finns who flew Brewsters in the Winter war and then Messerschmitts in the Continuation War, including Ilmari Juutilainen who scored 34 of his 94 victories in the Brewster during the Winter War.

Brewster did not see action in Winter War, only 5 birds active in the last weeks of Winter War.
These achievements were done during the Continuation War, before Brewster's were replaced by 109's.
LeLv 24 was the most successful squadron scoring 460 kills in Brewster's.

Scores for Brewster in Continuation War.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Japanese pilots in 1942 were, on the whole, more experienced than the Russians who fought the Finns in the early part of the Continuation war.
