Brewster B-239 BW-372 in Air Force Museum, Tikkakoski, Finland. The Finnish Brewsters were not called Buffaloes. They reached aerial victory ratio of 32:1. So what were the secrets behind the Finnish 'Pearl of the Sky' or 'Butt-Walter' success? See ALT.

The best memory from that time you were writing a story does not really exist, because you were typing with great intensity in a half-conscious state and you woke up only after several paragraphs, not recognizing your own creation at first. That is the best memory.

Our kitchen is awkwardly narrow, but our hustling and bustling there with Mrs went in good order, as we had just watched another rerun of ER. No knife throwing.

Captured Russian Curtiss P-40 M-10 Kittyhawk, "White 23" flown by Pilot Lt. Vitalyi Revin of 191 IAP. Revin landed on frozen lake Valkjärvi on Karelian Isthmus after he got lost in a snowstorm on December 1943. "White 23" was repainted in Finnish colors as KH-51 but didn't become operative.
