There is no WW2 airforce with such enormous variety of equipment: german, italian, french, british, american, german and... russian.

Maybe only Yugoslavs - using domestic, Czech, Polish, French, British, German, Italian and American planes (that's only pre-war) and then British, Russian, German, American, Italian, Bulgarian and again domestic designs post-war...

Finns actually had three separate wars between 1939-1945.

Winter War

Continuation War

Lapland War

There is very good movie about Winter War -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098437/
Worth watching, if you can find it somewhere. English subtitles are rather bad but still informative.

Interesting those P-40's. Maybe Soviet captured equipment?

Yeah, it was captured from Soviets.
Can´t remember what year, but if I remember correctly, they tested it and then used it for spares or something like that..

I found the pictures of the p-40's bearing Finnish paint, but cant tell which production model they are - IE if they are lend lease export versions etc
One could assume if there were bullet holes that had been patched with tooth paste then they would have been in Soviet possession
at some point.

They only employed one P-40, a P-40M, and it was never really used operationally.
