Re: Yet another for our Russian experts, please!
Hello Brian
yes, Finnish is very difficult language for non-speakers. 12 Aug 1942 FK-109 of the Lentolaivue 16 (Squadron) while flying a recce East of Lake Onega. The pilot, second lieutenant Pentti Mannermaa was killed by ground fire and the observer, lieutenant Paavo Kahla flew the plane back. He had already been awarded with a Mannerheim Cross, 2nd class, our Victoria Cross, earlier in 1942. The plane was damaged but was repaired. HTH Juha |
