COMPLETE NORDIC CASUALITY LIST IN RAF DURING THE SECOND WORDL WAR

Still under construction !!!!!!!!!

It is my hope that this list will be a complete casualty list regarding Nordic pilots and crewmembers in RAF during the Second World War,
but it is also combined a list of of all type of aircraft either destroyed (red) or damaged (blue) by involved pilots and crews from Norway,
Denmark, Sweden and Iceland. Still much research has to be done, before the list is complete.

As you can see it is surpisingly how high the losses were and especially many young and inexperienced pilots were wasted at tthe last year of the war.
Appx. 365 Nordic pilots and crewmembers gave their life in the struggle for freedom, sadly most of them is forgotten to day.

Danes is marked with (dk) and Swedes with (sw) behind the names and no marks for Norwegian.

This list is not necessary accurate and may be wrong about Dates, Places, Names, Fates etc etc

If you need helps on details about the list or have any COMMENTS or CORRECTIONS, you are always welcome to contact Knut Larsson
