The title "Flying Finns" has been applied to many Finnish sports figures over the years, often in ski jumping and track events.
But it is in the sport of rallying that the Finns truly excel, as rally drivers from Finland have dominated the International rally scene for over four decades.
Stuart Turner, when he was Competitions Manager at BMC, was the first to employ Finnish drivers for International rally competition when he hired Rauno Aaltonen and Timo Mäkinen to drive for BMC in the early 1960s.
The Finns in America (European Reading Room, Library of Congress) (2511 words)
Finns, as subjects of the Swedish Crown, were included in Sweden's seventeenth century effort to gain a New World foothold in the Delaware Valley.
The year 1664 saw both the arrival of a final contingent of 140 Finns, and the change of ownership of the area from the Dutch to the English.
Finns were identified for the first time in the 1900 U.S. census, which counted about 63,000 persons born in Finland.
