Funny, it's faster than any fighter finns had until spring 1943  .

EDIT[Silly me, of course there were Hurricanes and captured fighters like LAGG-3 and P-40, but they didn't see too much action as operational fighters, only 5,5 victories scored by hurricanes.]EDIT

This was one of the several "light" fighters offered up by Caudron in the middle to late 1930s. As to speed, a Caudron C-460 won the Thompson Trophy race in 1936.

True Widewing, I just meant that it tells more about general performance of finnish fighters during WWII than about Caudron C.R.714 itself  .
