Did Luftwaffe buy captured planes from the Finns?
Hello,
I have a Finnish document telling me that Finns wanted to sell their captured Yak-7B and IL-2 to the Luftwaffe for exchange to M-105PFs (for the LaGGs). The trade supposely would have been taken place in 1943 and early 1944. I know the Germans had at least one Yak-7 in 1943 but did the trade take place? Martti |

At Hallinporti Ilmailumuseo there is a Klimov 105P engine on display with a German dataplate stating that it was reconditioned by the Germans.
