Ofw. Max Lagoda is coming to Finland

Dear forum members,

It is my great pleasure to inform you that our tradition to invite foreign veteran pilots to Finland continues:

Oberfeldwebel Max Lagoda is visiting Finland in September.

Mr Lagoda (born in 1920) served in 2.(F)/Aufklärungsgruppe O.b.d.L. 1941–43 as Bordfunker in Ju 88. He flew reconnaissance flights in the Eastern front, where his longest flight lasted 9 hours. Sometimes they flew as far as Teheran. In 1943 he was transferred to Germany to train new Bordfunkers. During the last months of the war he was commanding a Flak unit in Germany. Perhaps it should also be mentioned that mr Lagoda scored one victory since he shot down I-16 on 29.6.1941 with his machine gun.

He was awarded with EK I and II, Krimschild, Frontflugspange in Gold mit Anhänger (250), Ehrenpokal and DKiG.

Mr Lagoda will give a presentation at the Finnish Aviation Museum (near the Helsinki-Vantaa airport) on Saturday, September 27th at 14.00 o´clock. His lecture will be in German and it will be translated to Finnish language by me.

He has also written a book about his career, Ein Blick in die Vergangenheit.

Please read more details about his visit here:

(Unfortunately only in Finnish)


Best regards,

on behalf of the Finnish Aviation Museum Society
