You're Top Poster: #5  | Its one of those campaigns that is very rarely mentioned and so it is interesting to read up more about it.

You're Top Poster: #1  | The Winter War, and the Continuation War, are forgotten campaigns. The war itself is very interesting, as is the British reaction. The last issue of the Britain at War magazine had an article on the Blenheims ferried over to Finland by RAF crews. After a bit of contact with the magazine editor, it looks like they are now working on a more general article about the British Volunteers, which should be very interesting.

You're Top Poster: #2 | That'll be an interesting comparison to the Hampdens that flew to Russia.
