NORWEGIAN LANGUAGE Book: Fra Sjø til Luft – Fred Olsen & Co tar av: The complete history of the most important pre-war airline, Det Norske Luftfartselskap, Fred. Olsen & Bergenske A/S (Norwegian Air Lines). The company was formed in October 1933 and two years later was granted a general licence for all domestic and international routes in Norway. The first Junkers Ju 52/3m (LN-DAE ‘Havørn’) arrived in June 1935 and inaugurated the route Oslo – Moss – Arendal – Kristiansand – Stavanger – Haugesund – Bergen. Later, the company also started the coastal route from Bergen to Tromsø and from Oslo to Gothenburg and Copenhagen. During the winter of 1937-38, a Ju 52/3m was chartered to AB Aerotransport and flew the Stockholm – Turku – Helsinki route. DNL managed to establish itself as the national airline in Norway. In 1939, the company began flying its routes with land planes and in June 1940 was due to start a mail route from Bergen to New York via Iceland with Boeing 314 Clipper flying boats in collaboration with Det Danske Luftfartselskab, AB Aerotransport and possibly also Aero OY (now Finnair).
During the Second World War, the aircraft were confiscated by the Luftwaffe and handed over to Deutsche Lufthansa and the Luftwaffe for use on the Trondheim – Tromsø – Kirkenes route. The book recounts the early years and ends with the dramatic conclusion in 1946, when DNL lost its licence to the partly state-owned Det Norske Luftfartselkap A/S, which later became part of Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS). Fred. Olsen’s old DNL company was converted in August 1946 to ‘Fred. Olsen’s Flyselskap A/S’. The book is illustrated with 713 pictures, 25 colour profiles, 4 sectional drawings, many timetables, posters, stickers, luggage tags, etc.
