VL Myrsky II – Historical Background

The VL Myrsky II aircraft was a fighter produced in Finland during World War II. It was developed by Valtion Lentokonetehdas (the Finnish State Aircraft Factory) to strengthen the Finnish Air Force, which was undergoing intensive modernization at the time. The Myrsky II entered operational service in 1944 and was used until the end of the war and in the early postwar years. It most often operated on the Eastern Front, including during the counteroffensive against the Red Army in 1944. Although the design encountered issues with susceptibility to weather conditions, the aircraft is considered a valuable part of Finnish aviation history.
