Re: Finlande. VL Myrsky
History
The decision to start developing a new fighter for the Finnish Air Force was based on experience gained before the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] : in the "arms race" leading up to a war, it can be difficult for smaller nations to purchase top-of-the-range fighters without a significant political cost.
The Finnish Air Force ordered premilinary proposal for domestic fighter from State Aircraft Factory (Valtion
Lentokonetehdas) before Winter War early 1939.
State Aircraft Factory prepared five alternative proposals May 1939.
After that, The Ministry of Defence ordered the design of fighter from State Aircraft Factory June 1939.

The premilinary design was made by the aircraft-designer trio [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (head of the design-bureau), Martti Vainio (aerodynamics), and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (structural design).
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] was appointed head of the design department of the State Aircraft Factory when Ylinen later moved on to the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in August 1940.
VL did not appoint any main constructor to its products, such as the German aircraft manufacturers did.

Re: Finlande. VL Myrsky
Due to difficulties obtaining [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], the wings were made out of plywood and the fuselage was metal structure with fabric or plywood coating.
The planned [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] III engine was not available due to war, so a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (civil Twin Wasp) was chosen, instead: an R-1830-S3C3-G for the first prototype, less-powerful SC3-Gs for later prototypes and production fighters from Germany (war booty).
The first Myrsky I prototype flew on 23 December 1941.
The prototype was fully functional, but too heavy.
After some modifications they soon had three new prototype aircraft.
The test flights showed some problems with the structural strength during high speed tests.
All three prototypes were destroyed during test flights; two test pilots died, one was seriously injured.

Re: Finlande. VL Myrsky
Series production started after German deliveries of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] had begun in 1943.
The series production version was called Myrsky II. 47 Myrsky IIs were built and together with the Myrsky I version the production amounted to 51 in all.
Although the aircraft met the specifications set for it, it did not fulfill all expectations due to structural problems.
The Myrsky III was ordered in [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], but none were built.

Operational history
Reconnaissance Squadron 12 received first Myrskys during August 1944.
Thirty Myrskys were delivered to Reconnaissance Squadrons 12 and 16 before the end of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
Fifteen Myrsky fighters flew 68 missions during Continuation War.
During one mission, they met Soviet [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], but the fight ended without losses for either side.
During two other missions, Myrskys damaged two Soviet fighters. Six Myrskys took part in a bombing mission on September 3, 1944.
During the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], six Myrskys flew 13 reconnaissance missions between March 2 and March 23, 1944.
The wooden construction proved problematic in this theatre, not enduring wet weather or cold well.
Ten Myrskys were lost in accidents between 1943-1947 and four pilots died.
Myrsky usage ended in May 1947 and the last Myrsky flight was in February 1948.
