Danish WW2 Pilots

Profiles

The nucleus of this site is the individual profiles of each person I have been able to find that was in air force service during the war. The profiles can be accessed though the alphabetical index.

Kirsten G Roger (1924)

Pvt. Kirsten G. Rogers enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in 1944. She was one of twenty-nine Danish born WACs during the Second World War.

Torben Edouard Hartvig (1924–2009)

Torben E. Hartvig joined the Free French in his hometown of Algiers as a young man. He was arrested and narrowly escaped a death sentence before going to England in 1943 to volunteer for the Royal Air Force. He served as an air bombardier.

Kaj Olaf Mortensen (1915–1994)

Kaj Olaf Mortensen arrived in New Zealand in late 1940 onboard the four-masted barque Pamir. He enlisted in the RNZAF in 1943, but seems to have served in the Army as well.
