Might be a Brewster Buffalo of the Finnish Air Force. Hasse Wind was
credited with 22 victories flying BW-393, and other pilots with 16 on
the same aircraft, for a total of 38.

Hardly... try Galland's BF109, or any of those Japanese guy's Zekes,
Franks, and Oscars. Hell, even Bong's p-38 beats out that Brewster Buffalo
(which, despite your fetish for it, still sucked as a fighter when pitted
against contemporary fighters - which "Rata's", "Mosca's", and PO's
weren't).

I totally agree. Take your pick of Me-109 aircraft, the aircraft with
the most kills in history and the aircraft that made the most aces.
Brewster Buffalo??? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has the discrediting of German achievement reached such a new low? Get
real.

I think the context here was most kills by an individual aircraft i.e. the
serial numbered airframe with the most kills. Someone supplied a data
point. Got a better one?
