History of airfield Immola- saw some dark wings of history during ww II, some of pics should be quite rare (found them of book dated july1942) Local history and thats all, finnish version of legendary song was Liisa pien which plays at background. Sorry about errors in writing..eli Immolan historiaa, osa kuvista on kirpparilta löytyneestä kirjasta skannattuna (4s kesäkuuta), kirjassa muuten paljon lisää.
