Official Finnish Air Force combat report 8523/2:
Date: 25 June 1942 13.35 - 14.00 hrs local time
Location: Sekehe airfield - Seesjдrvi 6500 - 10 m (22.000 - 30 ft) altitude
Victories: Two Hurricanes destroyed. The first dove vertically from 3.000 m (10.000 ft) to a swamp 15 km (9 mi) west of the Southern end of Lake Akanjдrvi. The second was burning in the woods 10 km (6 mi) north of the island of Kalitsin.
"I was performing an alert flight with four fighters (section tainumbers 1/2 and 5/1, south of Rukajдrvi). We met air master sergeant Juutilainen west of Sekehe attacking a Hurricane which took off from the field. I stayed behind with sergeant Anttila as top cover at 5.500 m (18.000 ft) altitude. When the combat moved southeast I followed at 3.000 m (10.000 ft). Suddenly we were attacked by a MiG and four Hurricanes. I noticed the Hurricane firing at Anttila and getting hits before I could help him. I shot the Hurricane at close range and it dove vertically to the swamp below. I got the remaining four enemies against me when Anttila was disengagin peacefully to the west. After a short fight I managed to disengage. 12 km (7 mi) north of the island of Kalitsin two Hurricanes managed to surprise me. At 100 m (300 ft) altitude the other one shot and hit the engine, back armour and the left wing tank caught fire. During evasive maneuvers I managed to shoot the the attacking aircraft and it caught fire and dissappeared south while leaving a smoke trail. My engine stopped and while trying to land the aircraft at a small lake 25 km (15 mi) north of the island of Kalitsin the other Hurricane shot my right wing tank into fire and immediately the whole aircraft was in flames. I pushed the aircraft to the lake from 10 m (30 ft) altitude at 250 km/h (135 kts) and the aircraft turned over during landing. I dove away from the aircraft and swam to the shore. The aircraf sank in 1/2 min. After a 20 km (12 mi) walk I reached our guard post at the southern tip of Jolmajдrvi. The guard reported that a Hurricane had crashed and caused a forest fire. 15 Hurricanes and MiGs took part in the combat."
Witness report: "During afternoon patrol I saw a forest fire at the mentioned location, set off by the crashed aircraft", ensign M.J. Salovaara.
Observations: "The Hurricanes seemed to be significantly faster than the Brewsters at medium altitude and reasonably maneuverable. Own aircraft totally destroyed."
Aircraft and Pilot: BW-372, Lt. L. Ohukainen (later Pekuri)
