The Finnish Air Force operates at the world's most northerly
latitudes in an often extreme climate. During the Cold War, it was
overshadowed by the Soviet Union, but remained fiercely
independent. Since then, it has worked hard to deepen cooperation
with its neighbours. It modernised its aircraft fleet and intends
to acquire a new generation of combat aircraft through its HX
fighter competition. Illustrated with over 170 photographs, this
book examines the development of the Finnish Air Force from the
Cold War, concentrating on its modern organisation, training and
operations. It also covers its increased cooperation with
neighbouring countries and NATO, and the use of reserve air strips,
along with wartime mobilisation and its reserve forces. Although
concentrating on the Finnish Air Force, there will also be coverage
of the Finnish Army's helicopters and HX Competition.
