The Invasion of Norway happened on the 7th of April.
Here are two covers:
Ben Rice, 201 Squadron providing cover to the Allied evacuation of Norway. Jaakko Hillo, Finnish fighter ace credited with 8 air victories.
And, a cover signed by Peter McGregor, who participated with 46 Hurricane Squadron in the Battle of Narvik.
The cover collection came to me from my good friend and GDC contributor, Janos. The medal from a very nice Norwegian, John Mangor, and the info on Jaakko Hillo from my friend in Finland, Rainer. If you add in Canada, where this is now domiciled, we have a fully international effort and network of friends and collectors at play here.
Thank you all,
John
Always looking for Eickhorns and etched bayonets.
