Upcoming Events and Activities Free Embry-Riddle Aviation History Program Finnish Pilots Prevailed Over Russians in 1939/40 Winter War A Mouse That Ate an Elephant; Russo Finnish War in the Air is a multimedia Aviation History Program presented by military historian Ron Anderson at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Davis Auditorium in Prescott, November 18, at 7 PM. Speaker Ron Anderson, a military historian since 1958 and a member of KEV 054 Finnish WWII Historical Group, attained a B. S. degree from California State University in Business Administration. He served in the U. S. Navy during the Vietnam era as a shipboard navigator. Following his time in the Navy, Anderson worked in the medical industry in pharmaceuticals and clinical laboratory marketing until moving to Prescott about 18 year ago. Now a Managing Broker for Century 21-Arizona West in Prescott, Ron Anderson also serves as the National Marketing Chairman, United States Section, International Police Association and as a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, USA. Locally he is a volunteer Law Enforcement Liaison Officer with Yavapai County Emergency Management Department and volunteer Patrolman with the U. S. Forest Service for Prescott National Forest. Hear the fascinating story of how Finnish pilots prevailed over the Russian Air Force and learn how the Finns kept the Soviets from defeating and occupying Finland. The Finns’ primary fighter aircraft during the Winter War of 1939/40 was the Dutch Fokker D-XXI, which was a maneuverable but slow, fixed landing gear, fabric-covered fuselage aircraft. Their most modern aircraft was the British-designed Bristol Blenheim bomber. A total of 114 combat aircraft comprised The Finnish Air Force. By contrast the Russian Air Force had 3,880 aircraft engaged at this time. Everyone is welcome. Seating is first come, first served and doors open at 6:30 PM with the presentation beginning promptly at 7 PM.
