Ok so we are getting the Brewster and I16 that will provide some very interesting early war setups how about throwing in this early war bird to mix it up with the likes of the emil , hurri and spit 1's.
With the Finns getting what they want surely the Frenchies need some loving too.
Dewoitine D.520
The Dewoitine D.520 was slower than the Messerschmitt Bf.109E but clearly superior in manoeuvrability. A comparison was made on April 21, 1940, with an intact Bf.109E-3 that had been brought down in French territory. This comparison highlighted the fine qualities of the best French fighter of World War 11. Had France not surrendered in June 1940, the Dewoitine D.520's career might have been comparable to that of British and German fighters. Of the 775 D.520s built during the war, only 36 were on front-line duty on May 10, 1940, too few to have a significant effect.
