Historia
Después de que Noruega cayera bajo ocupación, los pilotos noruegos escaparon a Gran Bretaña para continuar la lucha. Formaron los escuadrones reales No. 331 y No. 332 dentro de la Real Fuerza Aérea británica, volando el capaz Supermarine Spitfire británico.
Los pilotos noruegos volaron Spitfires durante las batallas aéreas sobre la Europa ocupada y proporcionaron cobertura durante los desembarcos del Día D en 1944. Después de que terminó la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Noruega compró muchos de estos cazas para construir su nueva fuerza aérea de posguerra durante los primeros años de la Guerra Fría.
