Yup. I remember, many years ago, when I was puzzled to see an American airplane (A Curtiss?) with swastikas, in a catalog. I guess Finland stopped using this because of the nazis? How did the swastika come into use in Finland as a national symbol? It was the symbol of Count XXXX ( swedish ), who gave the Finnish AF their first airplane. -- I crusader@kannel.lut.fi I / I How can you call me evil ?
