A Lockheed Lodestar with 15 people onboard was on its way from Stockholm Bromma Airport to RAF Leuchars airport in Scotland in the middle of the night between the 28 and 29 of August 1944. The plane was filled with Norwegian men and women that were active in the Norwegian resistance against the German occupation of Norway. This was during the second world war and that kind of flight was obviously very dangerous with high risk of interception by German night fighters. Due to bad weather and radio problems the pilots chose to fly on a very low altitude. At 00.30 the plane crashed against the absolute summit of a small mountain, Kinnekulle, in the west of Sweden. The mountain is only a few feet higher than the flight altitude and just a few feet higher altitude or a few hundred feet to the side, and they would have made it.
