Danish WW2 Pilots

Jens A. Norgaard was born in the Danish West Indies in 1916 shortly before the transfer of the island to United States. On D-Day he was the lead pilot of the Marauder attacks on Utah beach supporting the landing. He was a U.S. Citizen.

Edvard Jespersen is in service in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.

The Soviet Union attacked Finland on 30 November 1939. People all over the world were appalled by the aggression. To many Danes it was an inexcusable attack on a neutral country and a sister nation.

A small number of Danes working in the plantation industry in Malaysia in the 1930s volunteers in 1940-41 for the Malayan Volunteer Air Force – a small force that support the allied forces in South-East Asia during the 1941-42 campaign.
