New aviation history book for Norwegians and Scandinavians "GLADIATOR"
Hello,
For all Scandinavians, Norwegians especially, there is a new book out now called "Gladiator". It is written about Norways first pilot in air-to-air combat, Finn Thorsager. He was later squadron leader for 332 squadron, ferried B-25 bombers to Scotland and was a captain on the dangerous Stockholmsroute from Scotland to Sweden. Finn Thorsager lived an amazing life in the air as a pilot. On top, he was a great guy. Sadly, he died in 2000 and never saw the book published. It is written in a modern, easy and exciting way. It is nicely researched, but doesn't fall into the trap of being an endless amount of information listed. It's more novel in form if you like. The book is in Norwegian language, for now anyway, but both Swedes and Danes can read it with no problems at all. More info at www.finnthorsager.com You can also order the book from there. |
