		Lentoyhtiö Flying Finn Oy:tä koskevassa esitutkinnassa on ilmennyt, että kymmeniä tuhansia euroja Flying Finn Oy:n varoja siirrettiin eri yhtiöiden haltuun sen jälkeen, kun yhtiö jätti yrityssaneeraushakemuksen ja käräjäoikeus asetti sen maksu-, vakuudenasettamis-, perintä- ja ulosmittauskieltoon alkuvuonna 2004.
		Saman vuoden syksyllä konkurssiasiamies teki keskusrikospoliisille tutkintapyynnön sen selvittämiseksi, ovatko joku tai jotkut ilman hyväksyttävää syytä luovuttaneet maksukyvyttömän Flying Finn Oy:n omaisuutta tai myötävaikuttaneet omaisuuden luovuttamiseen ja siten oleellisesti pahentaneet yhtiön maksukyvyttömyyttä, taikka syyllistyneet muihin rikoksiin.
		Flying Finn Oy:n tutkinnan yhteydessä on tullut esiin seikkoja, joiden vuoksi ainakin kahta kuulusteltua epäillään myös muista talousrikoksista, joilla näyttää olevan osittain samojen yhtiöiden kautta liittymiä Flying Finn Oy:öön.

		He gratefully acknowledges the assistance given him by around 50 different people and organizations by supplying their photos, records and most importantly, memories of the “Flying Finn” and the huge influence he had on all those lucky people who’s lives were touched by him until his death in 1973.
		Despite this it is an effortless read and apart from the book’s obvious historical value, it’s strength lies equally in the 221 photographs of Jarno and those around him, many of which have never before been published.
