Seven ex-French H-75A-4 were delivered to LeLv 14 during the spring of 1941. In July they were transferred to LeLv 32. By August all the D.XXIs had been replaced by 14 newly arrived ex-French H-75A-3s and eight ex-Norwegian H-75A-6s. In early 1943 12 ex-Vichy H-75A-2s and A-3s delivered by Germany with another three in 1944.

Another source claims that Finland received 6 H75A-15 8 H75A-2, 10 H75A-3, 7 H75A-4 and 13 H75A-6, and that four surviving A-4s were re-engined with Twin Wasps in '42-'43.
