The small number of Finnish fighter pilots who defended Finland in
three separate wars between 1939 and 1945 amassed scores only
bettered by the Luftwaffe's pilots. Initially equipped with a mixed
collection of fighters acquired from sources across the world, the
Finnish Air Force was thrust into combat in the defensive Winter
War against an invasion by the Soviet Union in 1939, followed by
the Continuation War, together with Germany and the other Axis
powers against the Soviets, in 1941–1944. The third conflict, the
Lapland War against Germany, occurred in 1944–1945. Aircraft of
the famous Finnish aces are described in detail with many photos
and color profiles. This book includes the aircraft of Ilmari
Juutilainen, Hans Wind, and Eino Luukkanen, among others. It is an
essential reading for aviation enthusiasts and scale aeromodelers.
