(I mean, I hope you noticed that...). Re: Fiinish Air Forces, I can "help" with some types of planes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Air_F...1941.E2.80.9344 They seem to be right, even if they're from wikipedia. I can "voucher" for the Brewsters, Gladiators and Fokkers - and even for the Italian G 50's... This post has been edited by MMM on January 25, 2011 12:57 pm -------------------- M

Also if you have any other links regarding both sides ( but airforce only ) please share, i only found numbers/data regarding the land armies and so on. I found some info regarding Croatia in the meantime http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_Air_...n_Front_1941-43 Also found this gigantic map which has all the info, some essential parts are missing though : http://www.krunch.ru/mapsonline.htm Italy : Macchi 200 Saetta Slovakia : Letov S-328 , Avia B-543 Croatia : Me 109, Do-17z Finland : ? Hungary : CR.32bis, CR.42, Ju 86K-2, Ca.135bis, Reggiane 2000 This post has been edited by muggs on January 25, 2011 02:47 pm

I will try to get Denes's 2 volumes on the subject, maybe there's more info in there.
