Re: Finnish Aircraft
I've never seen it. I looked in my scarce reference books, and nothing. I'd be curious to know!

Re: Finnish Aircraft
I'll have a look and see what I can find. I have a book from the period about the 'Ilmavoimat' (Finnish AF). All in Finnish and I can't read a word.

No need to look any further mates!

Fokker F.VIIa (FE-2) single-engine transport monoplane was donated by Danish Red Cross in October 1941. It was used at first in LLv.16 (Flying Squadron 16) and since 26.11.1941 for transporting and supplying long-range patrols. Between 14.3. - 30.3.1942 plane was in LLv.6 (Flying Squadron 6) for the attack operation to Suursaari Island. FE-2 was used in Finland until 21.6.1943 when it was handed over to FAF Aviation Depot due to a weak condition.

Re: Finnish Aircraft
Those skis proved to be quite a drain on speed.

Re: Finnish Aircraft
I found an interesting site that whilst not devoted to Finnish aircraft does cover them and the pilots:
Hkans Aviation page - Biplane Fighter Aces from the Second World War

Also found so interesting info on Latvian Gladiators in the interwar period:

Re: Finnish Aircraft
Great finds Wolster. That Latvian (?) Gladiator looks interesting...particularly the insignia. As far as I knew, the Germans were the only ones to use the swastika set diamond like that. The Finns used it square as you know.
