Hello all!
I apologize for my endless stream of questions, but as my research into the Finnish fighter aces grows I find more and more questions that I need help with. I certainly appreciated all of the kind help that I have received on this forum. This question rests with the four Brewsters that escorted Hitler's plane when he visited Finland on Mannerheim's 75th birthday on 4 June 1942. I believe the 4 pilots involved were J. A. Savonen, V. T. J. Rimminen, Hans Wind & T. Jarvi. Is this correct? Also, I know that Savonen received the German Meritorious Order of the German Eagle with Swords medal as a result of this action. Did the other three pilots receive the same award?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
