What is your favorite Finnish fighter of WWII?
Last edited by futuredogfight; 02-20-2012 at 11:11 AM.
The best Finnish fighter, and favorite, can be two different aircraft.
The best was probably the Me109, but my favorite for some reason is the Fokker XXI.
Finland wasn't in a position to be choosy. However if given a choice it would be the Me-109.
My bad I ment favorite
Can't deny how the Buffalo performed.
Future, I'll try o fix the spelling for "Brewster".
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
And it was Brewster B-239.
Juha
The Finn's didn't call the B-339 a Buffalo, they called it the "Sky Pearl" and actually though so much of it they put it into production themselves! They claimed it had the highest kill to loss ratio of [U]any[U] fighter of the era.
Bf-109, great mix of combat capabilities. Esp. when compared with the rest off the choices.
Brewster was maybe their favorite.
The B-239. I wish the RN FAA had them in 1940 to fly from their carriers off the coast of Norway. It might have made a difference there. They certainly made a difference to the Fnns.
None of us is as smart as all of us...
