From www.ww2.dk - an excellent source of information.
H.L. de Zeng IV
Compared to other countries, pre-war Norway possessed a remarkable number of sea-plane bases. This may because of the terrain which makes rail building difficult.
Red = operational (einsatzhafen) usually heavily defended.
Yellow = Grass landing strips (landeplatz) Few traces remain.
Purple = airfield defenses.
Blue anchor = Seaplane bases (Seefliegerhorst).
White = Dummy/decoy fields. Often with fake aircraft and lights.
N.B. Fliegerhorst 'Lista' is probably the most interesting of the fifty-seven listed by de Zeng. The base has an interesting and long history.
