Re: Airfield Runways in Norway

Books on the Bf109T mention the aircraft being chosen for operation from Herla, with its short wooden runway. Possibly it was not the only one.

I suspect the ground conditions in northern Norway would make grass airfields unusable for much of the year, hence the need for solid runways.
