Eigild Ramsdahl Rohde

Eigild Ramsdahl Rohde served in the Norwegian air force in camp "Little Norway" for a brief period during the Second World War. I have little information on his service, though.

Poul Bruno Arends

Poul Bruno Arends arrived in London in december 1943 from Ecuador. The family had moved there from Finland in 1939 to escape the Finnish-Russian war. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force in early 1944.

B.160 Copenhagen/Kastrup - The Summer of 1945

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.

V1 Flying Bombs over London

Shortly after D-Day, the first V1 flying bombs hit London. Three Danish fighter pilots were involved in the fighter defence against the flying bombs in the summer of 1944.
