[Carl-Fredrik Geust]

The name of the airfield in question is PIIKAJÄRVI (EFPI). The planning as military reserve field was initiated already in 1934, but construction work was slow, and the field was handed over to Finnish Air Force only in spring 1943. Military use was rather limited, and included probably only some Finnish trainers and liaison aircraft. I have never heard that the field would have been used by Luftwaffe, who had a major maintenance facility at Pori ("Luftpark Pori"; some 50 km to the NW). Today Piikajärvi is used by the aviation clubs in Pori, Rauma and Kokemäki for light aviation and sailing aircraft.
