I was wondering if any forum readers have pictures, or maps, connected with fliegerhorst værløse (Danish Airbase Værløse, near Copenhagen).
The base was used as a Luftwaffe training facility.
I think its main claim to fame, was as the unfortunately chosen air field, where the B-17 “Punch board” landed (thinking it was in Sweden).
I would be interested in anything related to Værløse airbase. Not only WWII information, but anything before and after too.
In particular I’m looking for aerial pictures, and (somewhat unrelated) anything to do with the destruction of Luftwaffe on Værløse.

Hi Keith,
Yes, I have seen the “Punch Board” site, but most info there is about its use in KG200. I have two pictures of PB on Værløse (hard to tell, but the pics say Værløse).
What I’m looking for is not really PB related, she just happened to land on Værløse (a DOH! moment), but was not operated from there.
But thanks anyway.
