Re: Danish Airman ?

I have been looking closer at the mentioned records:
  • Arrives on 8 Mar 1942 in San Francisco, California from Sydney, Australia (M/S Parrakoola, occupation stated as pilot, but no indication to being in Transport Command; last permanent address in Malaya)
  • Arrives on 12 Jun 1943 in New York from Gourock, Scotland (Queen Elizabeth, record states Ferry Pilot)
  • Crosses the border from Canada to U.S. arriving on 28 Dec 1943 in Niagara Falls, New York, USA,
  • Arrives on 7 Mar 1944 in New York from Casablanca, Morocco (by plane)
  • Arrives on 27 Jun 1944 in New York from Casablanca, Morocco (by plane)
  • Arrives on 25 Sep 1944 in New York from Gourock, Scotland (Nieuw Amsterdam)
  • Arrives on 19 Nov 1944 in New York from Greenock, Scotland (Queen Mary
    Arrives on 13 Apr 1945 in New York from Gourock, Scotland (Queen Elizabeth) (45 (T) Transport Group)
Throughout the records different values for "relatives" are given, e.g. official Transport Command adresses, Danish Consulate, and a friend in London (at the Bath Club). On the border crossing record his father Carl, living in Sweden is mentioned. Unfortunately I cannot read the name of the town.

P.S. The ownership of the estate in Denmark is 1939-1942 (and not -1970), which makes more sense
