Jørgen Edsberg became one of the Danish voices in BBC at the beginning of the war. He wished to take a more active part in the war and volunteered for the Royal Air Force. He survived the war, but was killed in a tragic flying accident in April 1946.
Vera Elise Strodl (later Dowling) was one of only two Danish women pilots who served during the war. She served in the Air Transport Auxiliary from 1941 to 1945.
During the course of my research on Danish pilots and aircrew I have come across a number of people who turned out not to meet the criteria to be included on this site as Danish. Some of these people are mentioned as Danish by other sources, others have been researched because they hold Danish names.
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.
