Hardcover, Stated First Printing 1996 Apali 255 pages. Near Fine, no DJ - as issued. Just a hint of shelf/edge wear to glossy photographic boards with yellow titles - corners sharp. No previous owner markings - all pages are bright clean and crisp. Loaded with photographs, 7 maps of battles and a glossary. Eino Ilmari "Illu" Juutilainen (21 February 1914 21 February 1999) was a fighter pilot of the Ilmavoimat (Finnish Air Force), and the top scoring non-German fighter pilot of all time. This makes him the top flying ace of the Finnish Air Force, leading all Finnish pilots in score against Soviet aircraft in World War II (193940 and 194144), with 94 confirmed aerial combat victories in 437 sorties. He himself claimed 126 victories. He achieved 34 of his victories while flying the Brewster Buffalo fighter. Juutilainen finished the war without a single hit to his plane from enemy fighter airplanes (once he was forced to land after a friendly anti-aircraft gun fired at his Bf 109). A superb copy and highly recommended for aviation aficionados. ISBN-9525026043. LOC SSM-10
