Hi guys,
Just wanted to share few pics which were taken during WW2 at Helsinki Malmi airfield.
Some taken by unknown and some by my grandfather who was a field master over there at that time.
Thanks!
KE+IX is same plane which Hitler used when he visted Finland to
celebrate Mannerheim´s 75th birthday.
Mannerheim also used this same plane during his visit to Germany, later on the same year. FMP - 4.6.1942
Great photos, thanks for sharing.
It's great finding new material like this and comparing with what is already known. It serves to add to the base of already established knowledge, and fills a few more gaps in the record of the time.
Thank you for sharing these lovely photos! I've been interesed in WWII Finnish aviation ever since I got IL2 Forgotten Battles. They were terrific airmen. If you ask the average person what country's pilots in WWII had the second highest scores, they'd never guess it was Finland!
