Nazi Air Power: Norwegian Planes Hunted Like Rabbits
A 23 year old Norwegian flying lieutenant from Oslo describes German air superiority during the Norway campaign. He says German pilots hunted Norwegian planes from air fields and used ground forces to capture Curtiss craft while British efforts to base fighters in Norway failed. He recalls 24 US built Curtiss aircraft arriving and eight ready to fly before German attack. He and 18 Norwegian planes later operated from frozen lakes 3000 to 4000 feet up, as Germans systematically targeted hiding spots and bases.
