The Finnish ace on the Brewster was Hans Hendrik Wind (Hasse), who served
in LeLv 24. This unit flew the Brewsters until early 1944.
While flying Brewsters Wind scored 39 victories (36 individual and 6 shared
with another pilot). Not only this is the highest score in Finland on the
Brewster, it is the highest score ANYWHERE.
He ended the war seriously wounded, witha score of 72 + 3 baloons (also scored
on the Brewster, and not counted by me in the earlier totals).

By the way, does anyone know who is the highest scoring JET pilot in the
world, currently or ever. Who is second?
