00:00 The Flying Knight fights the enemy
02:05 Juutilainen attacks the soviet bomber formation
05:07 Another call of duty
06:22 Low fuel doesn’t stop Juutilainen
07:26 La-5 is back for epic battle
08:49 A vertical dive…
09:53 Back at the base
On June 30, 1944, Finnish Flying Knight Ilmari Juutilainen expertly engaged a Soviet P-39. Despite the enemy's attempts to escape, Juutilainen's precise shooting downed the plane, which crashed into a village below. Juutilainen immediately joined his squadron's pursuit of fleeing Airacobras.
The next challenge came from a formation of Yak-9s leading hundreds of Pe-2 bombers, escorted by La-5 fighters. Despite the odds, Juutilainen and his squadron charged into the fray, shooting down several Yaks before turning their attention to the bombers. The enemy defenses forced them off the attack run, causing Juutilainen to engage in a dogfight before the bombers dropped their payloads.
Rejoining the battle, he spotted a new threat: a large formation of Pe-2 bombers, IL-2 ground attackers, and La-5 escorts. Low on fuel, Juutilainen and his team made the risky decision to engage. After a tense dogfight with an evasive La-5, Juutilainen targeted an IL-2 Sturmovik, shooting it down before being pursued by the La-5.
The final confrontation with the La-5 resulted in Juutilainen triumphing once again, utilizing a clever energy trap to bring down the enemy. Returning to base running on fumes, Juutilainen and his squadron remarkably suffered no losses, with Juutilainen himself achieving 6 victories in one day, without a single scratch on his plane from enemy fire.

Will never understand the reason to why we need to censor history but hey at least it can still be shown
Awesome vid guys! Keep it up, your dedication is so unreal, releasing these amazing videos constantly every Friday, I don’t understand how you legends do this.
5th

as a finnish citizen i appreciate your efforts to brings stories from this part of the war. i believe he held a world record for many years.
Which world record out of curiosity?
@@LostShipMate He's the highest scoring non-German pilot of all times is the only one I can find.
He was a Nazi through and through. He got his kicks out of murdering women and children who he believed were inferior to him. Is that something you really feel proud of?
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮flag
@@Tuulosand no German should wish for anyone other but a Finn to challenge us.
You should do one about Lt. Sarvanto and the famous "3 minute job". The day a lone Fokker D.XXI in Winter War shot down 6 DB-3s under 4 minutes simultaneously setting a world record for the fastest ace in a flight.
oh hi smigol
YOOOOO SMIGGA :DDD
That sound awesome.
Hi smigol.
I have a video on this topic :)
Wasn't the world record some Pakistani pilot who downed 5 in a minute?
It's amazing that the last aircraft Ilmari Juutilainen flew was an F-18 Hornet.
So awesome he got a chance to fly one of those
thats actually nuts
He did not pilot the F-18 though.
When we flew back to Canada in 1992 Juutilainen’s son was the pilot on the flight to Copenhagen. Was able to go to the cockpit to discuss. Month later he sent his father’s autographed photo in the mail.
@@Revener666 ok then its not as amazing
Few facts about Ilmari Juutilaine:
Top scoring non-German Ace of World War 2
94 Confirmed aerial combat victories.
1 of the 4 recipients that received Mannerheim Cross twice.
Was a brother of Aarne "The Terror of Morocco" Juutilainen, CO of JR/34 (infantry Regiment 34), the same regiment where The Legenday Sniper, Simo Häyhä served during Winter War.
His last flight was in F-18 Hornet in 1997, at age of 83.
It's quite astonishing that this man was not only the ace he was, not getting hit a single time, but also that he was related to Aarne and led Simo as well.

@@Stoddardian while Finland was an ally with Germany against the USSR, they were not formally part of a the Axis Powers. Also notable Finnish Jews and refugees were safe from the Nazi's.

@@deanfirnatine7814 The Finns were beating the Russians in ground battles like 10-1 kill ratio until the Russians overwhelmed them by sheer mass of numbers that the Finns couldn't match.
The thing that I like the most about this channel is that it shows stories from all the countries involved in WW2. Americans, British, Soviets, Germans, Japanese, even the Finns! That's amazing. Better than most mainstream channels that only show stories about the Americans. Keep it up, Yarnhub!
Ilmari Juutilainen was the highest scoring fighter ace of WWII outside Germany, with 94 confirmed kills.
He had pretty tough brother also . Marokon Kauhu perkele 🇫🇮
wild how 100 pilots with most air victories are all german though, 103 with over 100 and no other nation had a pilot who reached the 100 mark
as Ilmari utilainen was named after the war.
In general, it is worth noting that in 1943, when the Finnish Air Force was able to renovate its aircraft fleet, fighter groups (LeLv) had a kind of hodgepodge of different cars from Brewsters, P-40, Hurricanes, captured Soviet I-153 and I-15 and captured French "Morans" given by the Germans. This whole set of flying rarities was already irrelevant for the second half of the war. which shows that Ilmari Utilainen was, to put it mildly, a little objective ace. Most of his victories of this period are not confirmed, and in some cases they look like outright fantasy, because the Finnish pilot issued victories when there was not even a hint of a fight from the Soviet side. Of course, he had real successes, but their number is clearly not 94. At the same time, the example of Utilainen should not mislead that all Finnish pilots were outright liars
In my opinion
Hans Wind was always more talented than the man who scored the most kills
Man gotta say the Finns in WWII had some absolutely badass heroes in the air and on the ground.
AND at sea too. ☝️ For example, how capt. Pirhonen sank the flagship of the Baltic red fleet would make a heck of a video.
Finland is like the one morally ambiguous badass character who the entire fanbase loves.
@@starwarzchik112 I agree with you about badass that everyone likes. Morally ambiguous for its alignment in WW-II? USSR / Stalin invaded Finland. Finland aligned with the Axis when it invaded Russia. That's pragmatic, not morally ambiguous.
Freaking Russia, by far the largest country, no good ports, _invade!_
@@cowboybob7093 USSR invaded Finland in the Winter war in 1939, but in 1941, it was Finland that invaded the USSR.
@@andro7862 Thanks, Finland a-ok
To score kills make you an ace, to survive the war without getting shot down will make you a legend, to be able to survive a war without receiving a single hit on your plane makes you a legend among legend.
Or 352 kills and serving till 1970.
Well sayed🫡
I had the honor to meet Ilmari just before he passed away 1999. Still remember that day to met Finland's ace of aces🇫🇮
Exactly the stories we needed. The small battle, the small countries, the stories that media don't talk about.
And not exactly that small fights. Soviets always struck with might and huge numbers. And Finland had hundreds of times less soldiers and hundreds times less equipment so they did pretty damn good.
Being of Finnish and German heritage love your channel.Farther/Uncle WW2 vets, Mother Finnish heritage born on the 4th of July in northern Minnesota. Learned history first hand and love to learn more. Taught to respect past and make a better future.
You should definitely study the Holocaust, Dachau, Auschwitz, Triblinka health camps, one of the children's concentration camps - it was named after the city of Salaspissky - Existed 18 kilometers from the city of Riga near the city of Salaspils from October 1941 to the end of the summer of 1944. The camp became famous because of the detention of young prisoners in it, who then began to be used for blood sampling for wounded German soldiers, as a result of which children quickly died.You can google it on Wikipedia. You should find out what your grandparents fought for - you should be very proud of them.😂😅
Okay, but the plane’s flip was so smooth. The quality of these animations astounds me every time
Man i love these makes me feel so proud of my country. ( there is many good stories from the finnish air force during war time, hope to see more of them someday)
They make you proud of your country? Your country was a fascist vessel state that murdered women and children because you believed they were inferior to you. Yup, that's something to really be proud about
On a slightly different note,I was able to visit the Finnish Air Force museum a few years back and bought a signed print showing Hans Wind shooting down a Russian fighter. He was the number 2 Finnish ace and also won the Mannerheim cross twice
Unreal that Finland was on paper an ally of Germany, flying BF 109s, against Soviets flying American Airacobras. WWII is seriously complicated. Insane.
I was momentarily confused about that lol
@@yrjomatilainen8412 I know the Finns are not fans of Russia to this day. During the war various countries allied with Germany against the USSR, which the Nazis cultivated and counted on. At Stalingrad this backfired on them big time, as the non German forces were the weakest link in operation Uranus, for various reasons. Less well equipped and less motivated.
However, surprisingly, Finns treat Russians better than Ukrainians.@@mdemian1968
“Co-Belligerent”. Cooperated without ever having a formal treaty. Enough of a distinction to remove the Finns from the requirement for unconditional surrender, and so they were not occupied.
Only thing that makes it complicated is Germany. They were an ally of Soviets from 1939 to 1941. Then they betrayed and attacked Soviets. That put Finland in weird position. Soviets were always Finnish enemies, but Germany turned from ally to enemy for Soviets.
Finland had to get planes from every possible nation, when war seemed close so they had leftover planes from who knows where. They had british, dutch, italian, american, czechoslovakian, swedish and french planes. Later in the war when Germany attacked, Finland was drawn into war again, and Germany provided planes to Finland.
I love these finnish stories!
Hello from finland🇫🇮
It's so nostalgia to see the "stall tactic" being employed by the Finnish ace! I used that often back in my time in Warbirds, luring enemies with low energy state to climb with me till they stall then I go back down on their tail, gun blazing. Of course it's a risky move and I could end up being shot from behind during the climb. Thus that shows the audacity of the protagonist in this story!
I employed the same tactics in WB :D. Ki-84 was particularly effective. As Juutilainen would say it: "It climbed like a home sick angel". "jaybrd"
@@Cycle_5 You're right! I flew KI84 mostly in the game Warbirds because it climbs so good that saved me hourly fee to get to the right altitude to fight. :D
Zeroes used this trick on F4 Wildcats in Pacific also, until F6 came out.
I bloody love you guys, you always throw us into the emotions, actions and heroics like no other.. I cant imagine watching one of your videos and not wanting to subscribe so I can see the next story, I subscribed about 2 minutes into a pretty old video because of how much I was loving it. You guys rock, can't wait for the next one 🤘
The flyby noise of the aircrafts fascinates me so much, I can never get enough of it.
Got another story from the Continuation War I wouldn't mind seeing you cover; that of Orvar Nilsson, one of the most decorated and highly regarded Swedish volunteers of the Second World War.
Born on 20 April 1919 in Söndrums, Sweden, Nilsson quickly turned to military life, being an officer cadet in Karlberg by November 1939, at the start of the Soviet invasion of Finland. Seeing himself as having a duty to the Finnish people, Nilsson left the Swedish Army and enlisted with the Swedish Volunteer Corps (Svenska Frivilligkåren, a military force comprising 3 battalions made up of Swedish volunteers (alongside a handful of Norwegians and Danes) who fought with the Finns against the Soviets), seeing action from early January 1940 untill the war's end in March the same year, having been promoted to Översergeant (equivalent to Second Lieutenant).
Following the end of the Winter War, Nilsson returned to Sweden, rejoined the army and eventually became a Löjtnant (Lieutenant) at Hallands Regemente (I 16). However, with the Continuation War still burning in Finland, by early 1943 Nilsson again fought alongside the Finns in battle, joining the Swedish Volunteer Company (Svenska Frivilligkompaniet, a company-sized unit of Swedish volunteers that were part of the Swedish-speaking Finnish regiment IR 13), taking part in the extremely fierce battles of Svir and the Karelian Isthmus, including the famed Battle of Tali-Ihantala, between 1943 and the end of the war in September 1944. During this time, Nilsson served as the company's commander, leading from the front and being wounded a number of times in battle, earning him great respect from his comrades, Swedish and Finnish alike. After the end of the war in September 1944, Nilsson returned to Sweden.
Upon rejoining the Swedish army, he served as an officer and instructor at the Infantry School between 1946 and 1949, before seeing service as a Major in the Imperial Guard of Ethiopia between 1950 and 1953. During this time, he led Ethiopian troops in combat during the Korean War as part of the nation's contribution to the United Nations coalition during the war. After this, he once more returned to Sweden, continuing his service as a Major into the 1960s, where he would deploy overseas as part of the UN peacekeeping mission in Cyprus as the first two battalions' reserve commander. in 1967, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, continuing to serve untill 1974.
All in all, throughout his long career in times of war and peace, Lieutenant Colonel Orvar Nilsson would be awarded a number of medals and orders in recognition of his valor, including:
- Knight of the Finnish Order of the White Rose
-Finnish Freedom Cross of the Second Class with Sword
-Swedish Volunteer Cross
During his later years, he helped author the historical biography "Finland at War" by Schildts, alongside writing his own works which details his experiences of the war, these being "Small Pawn in Big game" (Liten Bricka i stort spel) and "When Finland's cause became mine" (När Finlands sak blev min). In addition to this, Nilsson worked as an advisor on the historical war film "Tali-Ihantala - The Battle of Finland" (2007) as well as being the chairman of the Swedish Volunteers' Memorial Association. He passed away on 21 December 2008 in Halmstad, Sweden, aged 89 years old.
The more stories I watch about the Finns, the more I respect and admire them
The animation just keeps getting better
Finland's air force has been using a swastika ever since it was founded in 1918, shortly after the country became an independent nation and long before Nazism devastated Europe.
Until 1945 its planes bore a blue swastika on a white background - and this was not intended to show allegiance to Nazi Germany, though the two nations were aligned.
While the symbol was left off planes after World War Two, a swastika still featured in some Air Force unit emblems, unit flags and decorations - including on uniforms until recently.
We would have preferred to represent it accurately but we can't for monetization reasons on some platforms
Eino Ilmari "Illu" Juutilainen was a fighter pilot of the Ilmavoimat, and the top scoring non-German fighter pilot of all time. The top flying ace of the Finnish Air Force, he led all Finnish pilots in score against Soviet aircraft in World War II, with 94 confirmed aerial combat victories in 437 sorties. He achieved 34 of his victories while flying the Brewster Buffalo fighter.
One of the four double recipients of the Mannerheim Cross 2nd Class, Juutilainen was born in Lieksa, and died in Tuusula. His brother was the Finnish Army Captain Aarne Juutilainen, nicknamed "The Terror of Morocco".
Also Simo Häyhä or better known "the White Death" fought under his command. (Highest scoring sniper in any war 505-542 confirmed kills in a bit over 100 days)
I believe that all countries have their own stories of victory, but there are still many stories that have yet to be told. good job yarnhub, because of you, i can see any pov from ww2 itself.
I couldn't help but be sad about how little-known you are for how great your video quality is. Keep it up!
Awesome take on Finland’s ace of aces, guys! Keep it up with these amazing aviator stories! They deserve to be known!
i swear i started watching this channel from 2022 and i've never been disappointed

Once Juutilainen explained on the interview, that other airforces trained pilots to hit the enemy plane. Finnish pilots practised to hit the specific part of the enemy plane.
Good video, thanks.
It is also in a small part due to Finland being a nation of marksmen with Finns at a early age learning to shoot and that training comes in handy whatever profession they take in the Military. They are so good they can shoot the nuts off of a fly while it in in flight over a mile away.
Ilmari’s brother also deserves a video.
Yes. We're thinking about that one....
Anyone known by the nickname "terror of Morocco" probably has a story or two to tell..
@@bighobo7745 well... he was sacked from the Finnish army for misconduct, so he decided to join the French Foreign Legion, was deployed to Morocco and saw serious action there.... and THEN it starts to get really crazy.😂
Ilmari Juutilianen also had a brother, Aarne, known as the Terror of Morocco for what he did while in the French Foreign Legion. Aarne also fought during the Winter War(s) for which he too was considered a Finnish hero. Their family knew how to raise bad azz men.

Well Interesting Finland war ace story I would love to hear more Finland aces story. fantastic story Yarnhub

I think the Finnish side of WW2 is definitely one of the most interesting sides
The Finnish side of the war is the same as the Nazi side of the war, both lost and Russia still has part of Finland to prove it
@@davidcolley7714 It was all pragmatism, like how Britain, France and the US became allies with the country that invaded Finland, not to mention Poland with Hitler. At least Finland declared war against their former ally in 1945.
Agreed.. Romania as well.
@@davidcolley7714 Totally wrong. Finland was in war against Soviets. Finland were not nazis. Finns fought Soviets from 1939-40 and 1941-45. During that time Germany switched from Soviet ally to Soviets enemy. That made Finnish situation different, when Germany and Soviets went from allies to enemies.
@@davidcolley7714 Bullshit. You completely forget the winter war, where the USA, UK and many others supported Finland and the Soviet Union had an agreement with Hitler that time. The Finns fought specifically against the Russians, no matter who is the ally. If they not fight that time, they cannot stay independent, and the fate would have been the same as baltic states.
i love this channel, thanks for animating this incredible storys
Well at least you got this right. These are just stories. They are not grounded in any reality. They made for fantastic propaganda but didn't change the outcome of the war. A reminder, the Nazis lost!
That dogfight at the end....... perfect 💯
Another great story from my great homeland :)
His collar patches are post-war in the clip, signifying a sotilasmestari. The wartime lentomestari would either have had just one sword, pointing upwards, or the sword added to an ylivääpeli (one rank below lentomestari) markings. In 1952 all the remaining lentomestaris in service would be made sotilasmestaris so that the rank would be the same across the branches.
I originaly learned about great WWII ace pilots like Ilmari Juutilainen from the Strike Witches anime 😂
In all seriousness. What a great pilot. Not even a scratch on his plane.
Eyyyy same here! Oddly enough, was my first (modern) anime.
I recall Juutilainen got some hits from Soviet AA -guns but I´m not sure.
I love the fact that you begin the narration as if you were doing an introduction, but nope, you never stop! You don't go back in time, or pause to add info nobody asked for, no no, you begin with the main subject, and follow through. Man, I wish everyone in every channel did this, instead of teasing, and then wanting to create suspense or something.

My great grandfather served in the 22nd pursuit squadron along with some other notable people in Royal Hellenic Air Force during the Second world war when the Germans invaded. He was one of few to serve in the Hellenic Air force and hailed from a military family. He piloted a Polish PZL 24 fighter. He was based on an airfield in Thessaloniki, Greece. He assisted in shooting down an Italian Bomber in November 2nd, 1940. He didn’t make it to the last 28 planes of Greece’s Air force.

Magnificent video. Well done on an ace that very few people are familiar with.
Arguably one of the most interesting fronts of ww2
This was amazing! Please do more stories like this from other forgotten fronts of this war!
A fantastic vid like always. I also watch this channel daily. I don’t comment that much because I am so immersed into your videos
The Fins are a remarkably resilient people ,fighting the mighty Soviet union with such tenacity and marshall vigour!
I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
To summarize. The Soviets have more aircraft than the Finns have ammo.
Pretty much it was about to pick right target and not waste limited resources.
But for every defending side it was same. Focus bombers because those
will be most dangerous if not stopped.
That was the name of the Winter War on the ground, too. The Finns were outnumbered and outgunned in almost all respects. The Finns just had to cost Stalin dearly enough to make him think that he couldn't afford to take the country. In reality the Finnish armed forces were on the verge of buckling when the peace was signed.
@@carsonm7292 If not understood wrong it was intention of Mannerheim. He knew that Finns would not last much longer but calling massive retreats would encourage soviets to push even harder. It was gamble to throw soldiers to grinder to make defence look stronger than it actually was but gamble was worth it because soviets gave up first.
@@Kesssuli Completely correct. They went all-in and put up an unsustainable defense to buy a stronger negotiating position for their diplomats.
@@carsonm7292 "In reality the Finnish armed forces were on the verge of buckling when the peace was signed."
In the Winter War spring 1940, yes. In the Continuation War 1944, no. Stalin had to pull off his troops from the Finnish front against Berlin. Finnish Defence Forces were stronger than ever before in history when the truce was made in September 1944. Not even all Finns know this fact today.
However, Germany losing the war Finland could not continue as there was no hope of winning back the lost territories.
Thank you Yarnhub for another Friday of War History :) this is what I look forward to, on Friday Mornings
Thank you all for bringing entertainment and education on history! Another amazing video!

Love this channel. I am part Finnish. Its good to hear stories from another perspective.
Great video. We don't get to hear much about what happened to Finland in WW2. Finalnd was forced to seek help from Nazi Germany when Russia invaded - hence the Finnish Air Force having ME109s, supplied by the 3rd Reich.
The animation and attention to detail is off the charts. Even the pilot was modeled to his real likeness. Google ilmari Juutilainen and it looks just like him.
Thanks for noticing:)

Always great to see stories about the heroes of my homecountry retold in glorious fashion! Thank you YarnHub!
I realized that the stall dogfight part has an exact scenario with the war thunder trailer but in the trailer the sides is switched, so probably gaijin took inspiration from this story for their trailer
Nice job bro❤
That is a perfect animation of a finnish face. Hard and no emotions.
Finnish 109s vs Soviet AIRACOBRAS? Not something I expected…
History has taught every nation a lesson about Finland, it's that every time someone is fooling around, they rapidly find out.
Love the Fins. I bet if we looked far enough back, there was probably baker in some village that destroyed their enemies with a spoon.
Great job again Yarnhub. Love your work.
You guys are carrying on the tradition of Dogfights, Greatest Tank Battles, and Battle 360 type series. Bravo Zulu.
(3:59) You see, the trick is much older than "TOP GUN"!
TY for bringing light to a near forgotten front.
literally the top scoring, non-german fighter pilot, this video is well deserved
I don't believe that Gustav bf109g can outcome La-5 in vertical maneuver.
@@golenkopavlo maybe that wasn't a La 5FN, just earlier type.
Another Finnish one, yay, I would love to see more, keep up the gud work
