During the rest of July and August the airspace over Kannas was virtually empty of enemy air operations. Our continuous reconnaissance flights revealed also that the enemy had begun to move its troops and resources from Kannas. The race toward Berlin was underway and bigger stakes were lying on the table there. Finland had been too bitter a pill to swallow, so it was now time to turn elsewhere.
On 3 September I was with Lieutenant Risku over the trainyard of Viipuri railway station counting the train traffic. I told him to stay as far away from the anti aircraft fire as possible.
We flew via Heinjoki to northeast in continuous anti aircraft artillery fire. In one fierce concentration of fire Risku lost sight of me. He tried to find me but actually met one very determined enemy fighter, They both ended up firing at each other and then continued on their routes.
I told Risku to wait for me over the rendezvous point where I would meet him after I finished my mission. I was flying at 1,600 feet when a Yak dashed toward me from directly ahead. I turned toward him and shot in his face. It disappeared under me in a dive. I turned around but couldn't see it anymore although I went down to tree top level and checked the whole horizon.
When I started my climb I saw a twin engine airplane in front of me about 200 yards away. Where had it been during my horizon check? I identified it as a DC-3 airplane, having a Soviet designation of Li-2. I looked very suspiciously around while I sneaked up behind it. I fired first at the fuselage, then at the engine which started to burn. Then I fired again at the fuselage. This oaf then crashed on the field at the little village of Nurmijärvi. sending up a thick smoke pillar into the sky.
That same evening I had planned with Tuomikoski that we would go in the morning to see the wreck of the Li-2 so that could be confirmed for my records. On the same trip we could visit the Kilpasilta Air Base, where we could empty our weapons.
On the morning of 4 September we were just making our preparations for the planned sortie when Squadron Commander, Major "Eikka" Luukkanen reported, "The war is ended. All sorties are cancelled!"
I saluted and sighed, "OK, boss!"

That was a pretty abrupt ending. Mediafire link will be up in a few minutes. Happy Birthday to Eino/Eila and thanks for reading.
