Until 1940 most of the aircraft belonging to the Navy and Army air forces were domestic designs or built under license agreements, the main bomber/scout aircraft of the Army air force being the Dutch-originated Fokker C.V.īefore 1944, the Air Force were divided into the Norwegian Army Air Service (Hærens Flyvevaaben) and the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service (Marinens Flyvevaaben). The first plane, HNoMS Start, was bought with money donated by the public and piloted by Hans Dons, second in command of Norway's first submarine HNoMS Kobben (A-1). The infrastructure of the RNoAF includes seven airbases (at Ørland, Rygge, Andøya, Evenes, Bardufoss, Bodø and Gardermoen), one control and reporting centre (at Sørreisa) and three training centres at Værnes in Stjørdal, 32.7 km north of Trondheim, where Trondheim airport now lies, Kjevik in Kristiansand and at KNM Harald Haarfagre/ Madlaleiren in Stavanger. After mobilization, the RNoAF would consist of approximately 5,500 personnel. 600 personnel also serve their draft period in the RNoAF. The RNoAF's peacetime establishment is approximately 2,430 employees (officers, enlisted staff and civilians). It was established as a separate arm of the Norwegian Armed Forces on 10 November 1944. The Royal Norwegian Air Force ( RNoAF) ( Norwegian: Luftforsvaret, lit.'The Air Defence') is the air force of Norway.
