Squadron F19 who volunteered en masse - an incredible feat of coordination. Flew Gladiators and a host of light communication aircraft, most of which got left for the Finns when the Winter War ended.

Ake (sorry, don't have the proper 'e') Lindmann, as well as directing Tali-Ihantala and having a part in The Unknown Soldier, also played football for Swindon Town in the 1960s. What a full life.

J19 used a swedish version of Hawker Hart for light bombing and used Gloster Gladiators for fighter cover.
