Finn Thorsager in English?
Yes, there might be a possibility of such a thing! I have started to translate the entire book into English. The working title of this project is "Norwegian Spitfire Pilot - the story of Finn Thorsager". The plan is to continue to work on the translation, and then run it through a few people with good English skills for correction. The next step, when done, is to find a publisher in England, or someone in Norway who can do it for a proper price. As this is a book that most likely will be sold online, the shipping costs have to be on the same "page" as a potential production cost and so on (if printed in Norway). If all else fails, the translation will be completed, the book will be edited as a normal "book" and made into a PDF file. The PDF file will then be available for download (print on your own risk!) and donations for all the work will be very much welcome.
This is an ongoing project. If you want news about the translation of the book and how things are going, please sign up here.
If you are an native English speaker with a burning interest in historic aviation and want to help with making this translation as good as humanly possible, please, please contact me at gregers_gram(at)yahoo.no
