Ole Christian Tvede Geisler is mostly known for service in the SOE, but before enlisting for special service he served for a brief period in the Norwegian Air Force in Canada and before that in the Shanghai Municipal Police.
Gert Wilfred Larsen was one of the Danes who served in the Royal Norwegian Air Forces. He volunteered in mid-1941 and, from October 1942, he served as ground personnel in 330 Sqn on Iceland and at Oban, Scotland. He died on active service on 9 June 1943 in Scotland.
On 5 May 1945, the first Allied aircraft landed in what was to become B.160 Copenhagen/Kastrup carrying the SHAEF Mission to Denmark - and the Danish pilot Flt Lt 'Morian' Hansen, DFC GM.
Group Captain John Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, top-scoring fighter ace in the European theatre, begins and ends his best-selling memories, "Wing Leader", in Copenhagen. This is due to the fact that he is the commanding officer of B.160 Copenhagen/Kastrup in May-June 1945. But it is not only the presence of this well-known pilot that makes the airport an interesting place.
