Photo Comment

Made a forced landing on the ice of Lake Valkjärvi (Karelian isthmus). This was Finnish territory at the time but is now in Russia and named Michurinskoye Ozero. The aircraft was recovered by the Finns and became KH-51 in Finnish service. Photo: SA-kuva (Finnish Armed Forces photograph, Wartime Photograph Archive). Photographer Feldhoff.
