Beer Cans And Bullet Holes
(2026)(The fourth book in the Wings of the Winter War series)
A novel by James Mullins
Finland has too few pilots, too few fighters, and no margin for mistakes.
December 1939.
The Winter War has become a frozen battle of endurance in the skies above Finland. Soviet bomber formations grow larger by the day, and every raid forces the Finnish Air Force to spend blood, fuel, and machines it cannot replace.
Lieutenant Veikko Niemi has survived the first brutal weeks of the war, but survival has not made the fight easier. His old Fokkers are battered. His pilots are exhausted. And his mechanics, working with scrap metal, frozen tools, and stubborn hands, will stop at nothing to keep his planes in the air.
Then a new aircraft arrives.
The Brewster Buffalo is faster, heavier, and more powerful than anything Veikko has flown in Finland. It may be the weapon his squadron needs. Or it may simply give him a faster way to die.
Across the border, Colonel Dmitri Kozlov is adapting. His Soviet air doctrine is tightening. His traps are growing sharper. And when the next Soviet blow falls, Finland's fragile defense will be tested like never before.
In a war where every aircraft matters, one damaged fighter may have to fly again, held together by nothing but ingenuity, desperation, and whatever a Finnish mechanic can get his frozen hands on.
Genre: Historical
