The Suulajärvi (Kirpichnoye) airfield was built during the short Interim Peace (following the Winter War) on April 1940 - June 1941 by the Soviet Army in what was then occupied Finland. Early on during the Continuation War (Summer 1941), the Finnish Army recaptured the Karelian Isthmus back. Photo: SA-kuva (Finnish Armed Forces photograph, Wartime Photograph Archive).

Aerial Collective Hispano Buchon 1112 M1L, Yellow 10 photographed in rare Desert Cammo for filming, prior to additional Leopard Cammo effect. Still wears the latter scheme.

After a long rebuilt this plane made its first flight on October 5th, 2000. It is owned by Harold Kindsvater and based at the former Castle AFB in California. Even the FAA registry denotes this aircraft as a Messerschmidt ME-109, however, it is clearly a Spanish built Hispano HA-1112. It is wearing nice German Winkel-Dreieck-Strich markings of Jagdgeschwader 27.

A very smart looking Bf-109, albeit a convincing full scale model, on static display at RIAT 2012. It was built by Michael Whiteley and is used by War & Peace Battle of Britain Experience as a travelling exhibit.

Oberfeldwebel Karl Hier of I/JG 76 had to land his Bf 109E at Wœrth, Alsace on 22 November 1939. It was test-flown by the French at Orléans - Bricy, then handed over to the RAF on 2 May 1940. In 1942 it was shipped to the USA for testing at Wright Field. Note the faux swastika painted on by the Americans - they liked to dress up captured aircraft and amazingly, even in this stage of the war it was apparently not a safety concern. We found information that the photo was taken at LGA during the filming of a propaganda reel. P-40E 41-25026 is seen on the right and a P-39 Airacobra, probably 41-7249, on the left.
