By trade, he was a master machinist who worked on the manufacturing of the Brewster Buffalo 239 (Finland) as well as bombsights during World War II. - Page 3- Penttinen, Iver O. In the late 1920s, Penttinen started to collect World War I photographs and articles, which later developed into a large collection and made him a World War I aviation aficionado. He and his brother knew pilots from that era and were in correspondence with many people throughout the world. The brothers founded The Junior Birdmen of America, a club that accepted women. One of the club's members was Ms. Muriel Henderson who later married Iver O. Penttinen. The couple had a daughter named Kristen. The brothers were deeply engaged in a chapter of The Society of World War I Aero Historians, New York Metropolitan Chapter, part of the Cross and Cockade. Another of Penttinen's other interests was golf, in which he won a few trophies in tournaments of the 1950s. Iver O. Penttinen passed away on October 8, 1995 in The Bronx, New York at the age of seventy-nine. Sources Source Iver O. Pentinnen Collection, Correspondence Kristen Penttinen to George H.
