The BOAC Leuchars-Bromma Service 1939-1945

Abstract

• BOAC’s Scandinavian Service (1939-45), which operated between the UK and neutral Sweden, provided the means by which a large number of Allied clandestine operations and activities could be carried out during the Second World War.

• Moreover, its transport of thousands of tons of Swedish-manufactured steel ball-bearings to Britain during the same period, was vital for its aircraft manufacturing industry.
