A propos de cet article

Dustjacket has some light edgewear and rubbing. The story of a Norwegian Air Force Officer, and the sense of split second danger that rides with a jet pilot. Leif Hamre (1914 ? 2007) was a Norwegian military officer and children's writer. Hamre was trained as a pilot in Scotland and as a navigator at Little Norway in Canada during the Second World War. He continued his military career after the war, and assumed various leading positions in the Royal Norwegian Air Force. He is regarded as a pioneer of helicopter trafficking in Norway. He organized and became head of the Air Force's helicopter service, retiring as Colonel Lieutenant in 1974. Between 1957 and 1978, Hamre wrote six books for children and youth. He became for his action books for boys, in which he utilized his experience in aviation. He made his literary debut in 1957 with Otter tre to kaller, which won first prize from the publishing house Aschehoug, in their competition for best book for boys. The setting in the book is a rescue operation after an aircraft accident at Finnmarksvidda, under harsh weather conditions. The book was translated into English as Leap Into Danger (1959). A follow-up, Blå to ? hopp ut came in 1958. Later books are Klart fly from 1959, Brutt kontakt from 1965, Operasjon Arktis from 1971, and Fly uten fører from 1978. In 2002, he was awarded the King's Medal of Merit.…
