Wartime Aircraft
of the Finnish Air Force

Fokker C.Ve and D.XXI

by Jason Long


Fokker C.Ve

Fourteen served with LeLv 14 during the Winter War. Sweden donated three that probably went to LeLv 16. No combat losses in the Winter War, but two were lost to accidents. Promptly replaced by two refugee Norwegian C.Vds in April 1940.

By the Continuation War LeLv 10 had four, plus those still assigned to LeLv 14 and 16. One was shot down by an I-153, but no other combat losses. Finally retired in 1945 from tactical recon and light bombing role.

Fokker D.XXI

[For a detailed description of the Fokker D..XXI including its Finnish service, see James Broshot's article in this issue of TEM.]
