Yep Caudron it is.

More info of Caudron-Renault C.R.714 here. http://www.sci.fi/~ambush/faf/caudron.html (http://www.sci.fi/~ambush/faf/caudron.html)
Notice the huge amount of engine power  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Funny, it's faster than any fighter finns had until spring 1943  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

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  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
