Thanks for sharing the amazing photos, out of the 3 aircraft Ive seen a Fury before but not the other two. One question though, why has the Viima got what look like Blue Swatikas on it? Bex
The Finnish Air Force swastika is originally from Sweden. Swedish Count Eric von Rosen donated the first aircraft to Finnish army in 1918 (Thulin Parasol), long before nazis used it. The swastika was von Rosen’s symbol of luck.
I belive that the Viima VI-3 was named “Haijala” after a 1930’s FAF pilot, when was the name removed from the aircraft?
