Slægten fra Gyldenholm - Christensen, Erichsen, Thorsager ...

Second Lieutenant Finn Thorsager (Gladiator 433) made some claims on 9 April 1940. He had sprayed all his
fire generally at the many aircraft seen, and after exhausting his ammunition landed on a small frozen lake,
Lyseren, 12 miles east of Oslo, taxiing his aircraft onto firm ground. From here he was driven by car to Oslo
where he rejoined Jagevingen. The Gladiator (433) was left where it stood, and while it is thought that the
Germans subsequently recovered parts of it, some ten years later a local farmer told Thorsager that he still had
some pieces of the aircraft. His first claim during the attack against a Heinkel may well have been the same
Ju52/3m that had been attacked by Tradin which were claimed by German sources to have been shot down by
a pair of Gladiators.
After the German occupation Thorsager managed to escape from Norway to Sweden, making his way from
there to Canada via Moscow, Vladivostok, Yokohama and California.
Reaching the Little Norway training camp near Toronto, he was at first retained as an instructor, but in August
1941 joined 331 Squadron in the UK, having been commissioned.
He later transferred to 332 Squadron as a Lieutenant.
On 18 March 1942 he was promoted to Captain and took command of ”A' Flight.
During the Dieppe landings on 19 August 1942 he claimed two Fw190s between 06:50 and 07:10.
He claimed a third Fw190 during another sortie at 15:10.
As a Major he became squadron CO on 22 February 1943.
He was rested from operations on 1 July 1943.
On 15 September 1943 he was awarded a DFC.
Later that year he joined Ferry Command, and from the end of 1944 flew Lockheed Lodestars on the Leuchars
- Stockholm route for the rest of the war.
Thorsager ended the war with one victory, this one being claimed while flying the Gloster Gladiator.
After the war he joined the Board of Aviation, and then the Norwegian branch of SAS, becoming an airline
captain, and ultimately the airline's chief pilot, until his retirement adopterede Ellen Thorsager. Han var pilot
i Oslo. Han adopterede Helge Thorsager. Han blev født den 20 maj 1916 i Bergen, Hordaland. Finn blev
gift cirka 1946 med Gurli Camilla Huun Bøge. Han døde den 29 august 2000 i Bærum, Akershus, i en alder
