Pfc. Aage G. Poulsen was one of the Danish nationals enlisting in the US Army during the Second World War. There is little information on his service but he returned from United Kingdom after the war with a Military Police Company that had been assigned to the Eighth Air Force.
Group Captain John Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, top-scoring fighter ace in the European theatre, begins and ends his best-selling memories, "Wing Leader", in Copenhagen. This is due to the fact that he is the commanding officer of B.160 Copenhagen/Kastrup in May-June 1945. But it is not only the presence of this well-known pilot that makes the airport an interesting place.
Shortly after D-Day, the first V1 flying bombs hit London. Three Danish fighter pilots were involved in the fighter defence against the flying bombs in the summer of 1944.
