But with the Second World War raging on and German soldiers invading his Norwegian village, flying isn't the only thing on his mind. Eighty miles per hour ...'Now, Loki!' I said, seizing the other column in front of me. We both pulled back. The plane bumped and lurched like a runaway train about to derail. Then, suddenly, the pounding ceased and everything seemed mighty smooth. My god, I thought, we're flying! Finn Gunnersen and his best friend, Loki, are mad about planes.
