The hope and plan was for the Norwegian pilots to return as soon as possible with better aircraft and supplies.

On June 20, 1941, two Norwegian pilots training at the Island Airport were killed.

Siri Skare, 52, Norwegian lieutenant colonel, first Norwegian female military pilot.

If the Norwegian pilots were any good at all, this was going to be a tough fight.

The ship arrived in Gothenburg, where the two Norwegian pilots quickly sought out the British consulate.

She carried 999 prisoners and a crew of 34, as well as a Norwegian pilot.

It was first photographed by a Norwegian pilot over the Barents Sea in 1985.

He and another Norwegian pilot managed to make it together to Sweden.

A Norwegian pilot was also rescued from the sunken ship.

Skare was a military advisor and the first female Norwegian military pilot in her country's history.
