Too Easy!

This airforce also used many Bf109E3, Hurricane, Blenheim, Do17, Fiesler Storch, and SM79 all in 1940!!!

No way! Not Fnland, they were second hand owners of many of the above planes.

ramzey is correct.
6 planes operational, 10 luftwaffe planes knocked during the fighting of April 6 - 12 1941

ramzey · « **Reply #11 on:** December 16, 2002, 12:15:23 PM »

11 kills during this campanion, as i remember

whgates3 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 16, 2002, 06:25:01 PM »

various numbers according to different sources, but i deciede not to be overly boastful & used the smalled one i saw - wouldn't want to besmirch the reputation of such a fine bird, as i would like to one day see some of the planes of lesser airforces in AH...
according to Emmanuel Gustin's M.A.D. PZL P.24F was armed with 4 x 20mm Oerlikon. slow fighter, but highly manuverable - deadly if you overshoot or try to turn with it.
FFVS J.22 sjöuld finally see some combat, if only virtual.
IAR 80/81 was regularly mistaken for FW190, couldn't be too bad...
