That would be a P-36 Hawk that the Finns got from Germany after it was captured in France in 1940.

And it's not Nazzi, it's got a Finnish Von Rosen Cross. It's important to see the difference between a Nazi Swastika and the von Rosen cross.

Yes, thanks Straffo. Here's a short version for the rest of you. :)

The Finnish Air force symbol was born when Swedish von Rosen donated Thulin typ D to Finland in 1918. The Swastika was the personal symbol of Mr von Rosen and it was adopted to FiAF. At the end of the WWII the world had became allergic to swastika and it had to replaced.

The von Rosen cross was adopted by FiAF years before the Nazis so it has nothing to do with them.

And as an addition, the export Hawks were the 75A's and not the P36's. (Different guns?)

The french hawk had throttle fonctionning in reverse compare to the usual english behaviour , MAC 7.5 (I think)  and metric instrument.
