Finnish Fighter Squadron 24, LeLv 24

According to Fighter Tactics Academy 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.
