Finland, air force base.

Several strange-shaped aircraft are preparing for takeoff on the apron next to them.

From the outside, it is easy to see that this type of aircraft belongs to a biplane. However, unlike most biplane, its cockpit is a fully enclosed bubble cockpit. In biplane, this uniquely shaped aircraft can be easily identified.

The British-made Gladiator fighter is from the SS-37 biplane fighter developed by Gloucester in 1934.

Facts have proved that biplane has fallen behind, but the updates of aircraft will not be particularly fast. For example, the Soviet Union is still synchronizingly equipped with single-wing and biplane fighters.

This gladiator fighter is not equipment from the Finnish Air Force, but from the Swedish volunteer squadron.

When the Soviet Union began to invade Finland, many foreigners volunteered to join the war, but the Finns' choices were harsh, and in fact few foreigners participated in air combat.

Historically, the only organized foreign aviation unit was the Swedish Volunteer Squadron: the 19th Fighter Squadron, commanded by Major Beckhamar. The pilots and technicians of the squadron were from the Swedish Air Force, equipped with more than a dozen Gladiator fighters and four Hart dive bombers.

Now, unlike history, Germany has imported a large number of fighter jets and has more volunteer pilots, which has allowed Finland to always hold air supremacy. However, the Swedish 19th Fighter Squadron also has good results.

In the past few months, they have dispatched a total of 464 aircraft, lost five aircraft in combat and one aircraft in an accident. Meanwhile, the pilots of the squadron destroyed eight Soviet aircraft, including one TB-3 heavy bomber.

With the arrival of winter, the harsh climate has reduced the number of fighter jets. At the same time, the advantages of biplane aircraft have been further demonstrated, and their take-off and landing performance is better and can adapt to harsh environments.

Therefore, the Swedish fighter squadrons undertake more air reconnaissance tasks, and their aircraft are indeed outdated and are somewhat powerless in air combat, so it is good to use them for reconnaissance.

Major Hamar stepped into his cockpit wearing a full flight suit. At this time, the cockpit had been preheated and was very warm.

Sweden and Finland are both countries of high latitudes. The men here adapt to the severe cold. At the same time, their planes have been transformed and preheated devices have been installed.

"Start the engine." Major Hamar said.

With his command, the ground power car was on the side, providing sufficient power, and the motor excitation sound, the Bristol Mercury Viiia/As engine was successfully started.

The propeller in front was turning quickly, Major Hamar released the brakes, the plane slid onto the runway covered with thin ice, slid on the runway, and then took off.

Below is a world covered with silver, and the entire earth is like a thick quilt covered.

If the cockpit is open, the flight process must be unpleasant. Now, Major Hamar's cockpit is as warm as spring. He wiped the glass beside him and began to observe below.

This mission is still a reconnaissance flight. Other aircraft that take off one after another will conduct reconnaissance in all directions on the battlefield. As the person with the richest flight experience, Major Hamar's mission is the most difficult. He has to fly over the defense line, fly to the rear of the Soviets, and observe the deployment of the rear troops of the Soviets.

On one side of his fuselage, he added a camera. If necessary, he would open the hatch, stick his head out, and use the camera on the slide to take photos downwards. This is a single fighter after all, and everything depends on him to operate it alone.

The wings in front blocked a large field of view. He could only look at both sides to have a better observation. The only advantage is that with the arrival of the cold winter, the Soviet fighter jets have taken off very few, so there is no need to worry about possible encounters.

The plane flew through the mountains and the woods, and the plains in front belonged to the Soviet Union.

He got up carefully and continued to fly forward. In front, there was a station, which was the last stop for the Soviet Union's material transportation. From the station, the materials were unloaded and transported to the front line by car.

The defense there is quite tight, especially with a large number of anti-aircraft guns, but there is no doubt that it is the easiest place to find intelligence.

Major Hamar's plane flew very low, and at the same time, he began to make a big circle. If he flew directly from the west, he would easily get beaten. However, if he flew around in a big circle and from the east, he would easily be mistaken for the people below to think it was their own plane.

The fighter plane flew very low, and for a long time, you could even see the snowflakes on the ground being blown up. After continuing to fly for fifteen minutes, he turned.

Pushing open the hatch, a cold wind came in instantly, causing him to chill. He maintained his normal flying posture. At the same time, he poked out his body, adjusted the focal length, and set the camera to a continuous shooting state.

Now, it's the most thrilling flight!

"Woo, woo!" A tank truck drove into the station with black smoke.

When a stream of braked white air came out, the train finally entered the station smoothly. The door of the tank truck opened and teams of soldiers jumped down from above.

"The air here is really good!" said a soldier. Compared to the dirty air inside the tank truck, this place is of course better.

"Ah Yeh!" He then sneezed involuntarily, it was a little cold!

He was wearing summer leather shoes on his feet, and he was wearing beautiful autumn clothes. It was indeed a bit cold in this cold and cold ghost place.

They are the 44th Division stationed in Ukraine. Now, the climate in Ukraine is adapting to wearing autumn clothes, but they can no longer wait for winter clothes to be distributed. In autumn clothes, they go to the battlefield.

The rescue orders were very urgent, and if they did not act quickly, the 163rd Division was said to be at risk of being eaten.

At the same time, they were also very confident that as an elite force, they came here to fight without any possibility of failure. They also brought their own band and beautiful dresses to the Finnish capital to hold a victory parade.

At this time, the sound of an airplane came from afar. He raised his head and saw a biplane flying overhead.

On the plane, there were constant lights, which were the flash of the camera.

Is it Yi-15? It doesn't look like it. Yi-15 is quite thick and short, and this one looks a bit slender!

At this time, he had no consciousness. It was not until the anti-aircraft guns at the railway station sounded that he suddenly realized that it was a Finnish plane!
