Carl Gustaf von Rosen, who worked as a KLM DC-2 pilot - see photo 509828 - bought this DC-2, PH-AKH, to help the Finns against the Soviet invaders. He flew it from Sweden to Tampere on 14 January 1940. Bomb racks were fitted and machine guns installed in the nose and in an open dorsal position, as seen here. The aircraft flew one bombing mission on 1 March 1940. Later it served as Marshal Mannerheim's personal transport. In March 1942 it was camouflaged and given a new serial, DO-1. It was retired in 1957 and is now beautifully preserved in the Tuulonen shopping mall. Photo from: Finnish Air Force This photo was added on 5 March 2023, and has since been viewed 346 times. |
