According to Fighter Tactics Academy (http://www.sci.fi/~fta/) finnish Fighter Squadron 24 (LeLv 24) was extremely succesfull during WWII.
"...129 victories with the Fokker D.XXIs, 477 with the Brewsters and 663 with the Messerschmitts. Exchange ratios were 16:1 with Fokkers, 34:1 with Brewsters and 25:1 with Messerschmitts during the war.
(Exchange ratios = Kills/Loss, tho)
Magnusson's own squadron would score 877 victories making it the highest scoring single fighter squadron in history.
"...6th of January Jorma "Zamba" Sarvanto from 4./LeLv 24 scored a unique world record.
He shot down six DB-3 bombers in just four minutes!"
This site is definitely worth to check.
Lots of ACM and other information.
