Highland_laddie Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi, I hope you don't mind, but here is a link to the English version of the Wikipedia page on this aircraft. Thanks for posting I wasn't aware of this aircraft at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VL_Myrsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Looks a lot like the Dutch Fokker D21 which were delivered to Finland before the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pru426 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 hi if you are interested in British war history in Lappland please read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_on_Kirkenes_and_Petsamo my friend said his relative met 1941 in autumn ? two British pilots who were shot down in that attack he met them at the German ? military hospital in Tornio but didn´t remember their names maybe someone is interested about that and knows who they were pekka ...and about the Fokker D XXI in FinlandThe highest scoring airframe was FR-110, achieving 10 victories; this aircraft survived the war and is on display at the Central Finland Aviation Museum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_D.XXI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 That is very interesting I wonder who they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland_laddie Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi Pekka, I have been interested in both the winter war and the continuation war, unfortunately the books I have read have focussed mainly on the ground war. After your posting I did a bit of searching but couldn't find many books either on Finnish Aircraft of the period or on personnel. However I have found a copy of a book about Finland's leading Ace - Enio Luukkanen (Fighter over Finland - Memoirs of a fighter pilot) which should be on its way :-) So thanks again for the nudge about this area of history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
