I remember the Time-Life History of WWII had a volume called The Winter War about Finland. FASCINATING! I read it three times.

P.S. I also really love the music of Sibelius!

Hi Marc, it's Natalya Meklin a pilot with the famous Night Witches squadron (588th Night Bomber Regiment) in Russia during WWII. They were an amazing group of people who flew Po-2's. Their tactics were scary, lol.
