[WWI] Fun with Finns WAS: Anyone in Edmonton Alberta?

[Hooper, Dave]

One of the English modelling magazines had a very good article on early
finish airforce aircraft some years ago, including many photos and
colour profiles. 
When I return to England, next week I will look it up and post the
details.

Buzzards didn't actually take part in fighting, they came too late for 
that. They were bought from the Aircraft Disposal Company.

During the Civil War the Finnish Whites had Thulin typ D aircraft, SW 20

Albatros and N.A.B. typ 9 Albatros (Swedish built copies of Albatros 
B.II), Nieuport 17, Nieuport 10, DFW C.V, Stetinin M-5, M-9 and m-16, 
Rumpler 6B1, Friedrichshafen FF 49C and FF33E. The Reds had Nieuport 10 
and 21.

After the conflict more OT aircraft found their way to FAF.
