Default Swedes in RAF

Pilot Officer Otto Häggberg was born in Stockholm 1922. Joined RAF in 1940. Serving with 137th Sqn at Matslaske (?) he was on his 37th mission probably shot down by a Me-109 on 12th February 1942 in connection of German battleships breaking out from Brest.

Sgt Fredrik "Hackie" Håkansson was born 1921 and joined RAF in 1941. After training in Canada he served with 165th and later 610th Sqns. After sucessfully having shot down two V-1:s on 9th July 1944 the third V-1 exploded and damaged "Hackies" aircraft so he had to bail out. Sea rescue craft was sent out but never found him.
