The Ruskies loved the Air Cobra and its nose cannon.
The cannon worked as a can opener on nazi tanks.

Also seem to remember Finland flew Buffalos and gave the Russians a
decent shellacking. Not sure if the Buffalos played any part in that,
however...


There's more information here on the Finnish use of Brewster aircraft,
although perhaps not the Buffalo which would not have gained the Finnish
nickname: "Taivaan Helmi" "Pearl of the Skies".

For the Buffalo itself it was probably in the Fairey Battle class.
