Painted in the colours of Norwegian Spitfire Ace Rolf Arne Berg (RAB).Rolf Arne Berg (born on november 27th, 1917 in Trøndelag, Norway) was probably the best Norwegian fighter pilot during world war two. Berg joined the Norwegian Air Force just prior to World War Two. He managed to escape to England and received further training at Camp Little Norway in Canada. Subsequently he was posted to 331 Squadron where he was to remain for the duration of the war, ultimately becoming its Wing Commander.He was killed Februari 3rd, 1945 while shooting German aircraft on the airfield at Eelde when his Spitfire was hit by Flak. This summer (2017) a Spitfire IX was decorated as his aircraft on the initiative of The Norwegian Spitfire Association. It's their long term goal to have a Spitfire flying on a permanent basis.
