The original video was available for few years on VHS. It seems they rescanned the film negatives for this DVD version and made only one DVD with Finnish, Swedish and English dubbings. As far I know the DVD is only available from aviationshop.fi/ at price of 28€.
The VHS version is available at Youtube
This unique DVD tells the story of Finnish Air Force during the Winter and Continuation War. Filmed by Finnish war photographers. Most of the material are never published before this. All of the major aeroplane types are included to the DVD, from Brewster to Messerchmitt. Many airbase scenes and men in harsh conditions. Made from original negatives, thus the excellent quality. Language choices: Finnish, Swedish, English. Produced by Suomen Ilmavoimien TukiSäätiö. 62 min. DVD

It seems the DVD is made from a original VHS master and not from the negatives as I said before. No info about the quality of the film then.

Many thanks for the link, Martti !!!!!!!!
Very interesting shots, especially some of the Blenhiem-footage (stuff I haven’t seen before & I’m not really a Blenheim-fan !)
Have only seen the first-one, so far.
Looking forward to seeing more of the Fokker D.21’s & (perhaps) some Buffalo-footage
Some interesting shots for those with the ‘Corgi’ – diorama Gladiator w/skis !
Much appreciated Martti !!!!!
