    By a Russian in Finland.:confused:
    I don't know his name, or the name of who killed him, or when it was.
    Many different "web" places say that a Russian killed the first American in Finland and nothing else.

    that was the only thing I really searched for. maybe I've but the question wrong and would have "by which nationality was he killed" better.

    sorry.

    Cool....

    In what mountain range, was the distance between the air-strip and enemy positions so short, that the Corsairs didn't even have time to raise their landing gear before dropping their (napalm) ordinance?

    I still don't understand the original question about the American killed in Finland by the Russians or maybe Sweden by a Norwagian or UFO. :eek:
    His underware was different shades of brown when he saw the bomb coming at him. :D
