I think it's a PZL P-11 (hard to tell from that angle...) The Cockpit is open,whereas the P-24 had an enclosed canopy.....

Your correct P-11 .

The PZL P.24 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed during mid-1930s in the PZL factory in Warsaw. It was developed as a dedicated export version of the PZL P.11, a gull wing all-metal fighter designed by Polish aeronautical engineer Zygmunt Puławski.

The PZL P.11 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed and constructed during the early 1930s by Warsaw-based aircraft manufacturer PZL. Possessing an all-metal structure, metal-covering, and high-mounted gull wing, the type held the distinction of being widely considered to have briefly been the most advanced fighter aircraft of its kind in the world.

Fokker D.XX1 4th series.

Correct! State of the art when it entered service in 1936. The model depicted was flown by the Finns. The fixed landing gear was actually an advantage as it was able to operate from rough landing strips and could easily be fitted - like the one in the picture - to operated in snow. In the Winter War (1939 - 40) they were quite successful against the Red Air Force and earned the respect of the Soviet pilots. When the Finns joined the Germans and resumed their conflict with the USSR, they continued to enjoy success, even though they were starting to be out gunned by the Russian models. The Finns kept them in service until 1949.

The Brewster F2A Buffalo.
Not one of the most successful - or attractive - US Navy fighters of the war. The Finns actually managed to do pretty well with it, but everyone else pretty much hated it.

I always thought Finnish Air Force markings of WWII were a bow to their alliance of necessity with Hitler.

Not so.
