Eino Ilmari "Illu" Juutilainen (21 February 1914 ΓΆβ?¬β?? 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 (1939ΓΆβ?¬β??40 and 1941ΓΆβ?¬β??44), 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. Seller Inventory # 180924005
