Yes they called it the FM-2 Marlet aka Ford built Wildcat...The Soviets as much as I disliked them during WW2 loved the Hurricane as they did the P-39 Air Cobra\P-63 King Cobra.
All true. And the Finns had massive success with the Brewster Buffalo. The eastern front was different than anywhere else. Lot’s of low altitude fights and some planes found their task there that seemed second rate in any other theater.
