In 2004, a lake in Russia revealed the wreckage of a Finnish Air Force BW-372, export version of the U.S. Navy’s first monoplane fighter, the Brewster F2A Buffalo. Though American combat experience with the type left much to be desired, Finnish pilots racked up quite a record in the type while flying against the Soviet Union. Among the top-ranking aces was Lieutenant Lauri Pekuri, with 18.5 kills. On 25 June 1942, Pekuri engaged in a running dogfight with enemy fighters, suffering damage to his aircraft that made it necessary for him to ditch his aircraft in a lake. Sixty-two years later, that aircraft arrived at the museum, the tail still pained with the silhouettes signifying some of Pekuri’s kills and the fuselage and pilot’s seat showing the signs of damage from its last pitched World War II air battle.
