What about doing the same with the near-identical Humu, instead? IIRC it had wooden wings, surely more easily built for a replica project; and from the outside, it’s still pure Brewster…

One would have to then use engine with more power than R-1820-G5 since Humu was calculated for Shvetsov M-63 (1100 hp). Finns couldn’t get that from the engines they got so the test flights were disappointments when comparing the speeds but if my memory serves me correctly the flight abilities were almost the same or even better in some fields.

Messuhalli on 27th September 1941. A captured Soviet barrage balloon, MBR-2 and part of some other plane next to it?

If so they are very well done. I could believe the Yaks flying shot was but the soldiers in uniforms I not so sure.

You can see it from the faces, they are too saturated and “flat” as are the colors in all the other photos. Compare them to the T-34 shot which seems to be a genuine German color photo.

A few colour shots of Russian wartime aviation turned up recently.

Those are colored black and white photos. For the Library of Congress photos, see the link.

Any takers :diablo:?

Cradle of Aviation Museum have made two replica Brewsters, one for themselfs and one for the Dutch. So there is total of four full size “Brewsters” in the World: Two replicas, VL Humu and BW-372.

The work done by the museum looks to be of the highest standard – we could learn a few things from them!

Is it still owned by the Museum at Pensacola, or has it been allowed to return to where it should be for good?

Aviation Museum of Central Finland

“All the restoration will be done by guidelines and under supervision of the NMNA.” The Finnish page will tell us that the plane is still owned by the US Navy Museum at Pensacola.

both Finland and Denmark have an airworthy Fouga CM.170 Magister.

Finland has two (OH-FMA & OH-FMM) but they were built in 1962 and 1963 so they were not in my original list.

According to this site the Soviets seem to have used Spifires during the continuation war.

The Spitfires Finns claimed were probably Yaks and while I remember seeing some information the Soviets used Spits over Leningrad they didn’t engage any Finnish planes.

If you can read Finnish there is Jukka Raunio’s book “Lentäjän näkökulma II”.
