Hmmm... Do I see it right that there are Nazi Crosses on that plane?
Anyway, it looks like russian design, yet the cowling part and prop, kinda remind me of Fokke Wulf design.
It looks like a FW-190 and a Lavochka collided.

VL Myrsky

I think Grunherz is right. For a sec i thought it was a Fokker D21 but that looks like this:

yes it is, if you mirror it.

According to Grand Soviet Encyclopedia - it's a swastika, "a cross with bended ends". But our Finnish comrades will say that it's a Von Rosen Cross. Please, never say that it's a swastika if you don't want to offend Finns.

That "nazi cross" was in use long befor AH came along and adapted it in his sick cause !:rolleyes: Do a net search for a Finn by the name of Mannerheim and the FAF(Finnish AF). Also notice the orientation of each cross.

Did I miss something?

March, 1940, Soviet tanks on the ice of the Finnish Gulf, Mannerheim line broken and nothing to stop them on the way to Helsinki...

It was a heroic attempt - but Soviet victory was only a question of time

Anyway - my hat off for Suomi people.
