Mail flight, air light beacons, aeronautical maps - Bo Justusson

Welcome to my webpages on air light beacons (with rotating beams) and night mail flight in the 1930s. For Sweden, Denmark and Finland there is a webpage for each beacon with a map, coordinates and photos. Sometimes old photos, and more often photos of relicts to-day.

Many links are marked "GE:" = Google English translation of a webpage in Swedish
  - not perfect, but often understandable!

Some pages are marked K or B, indicating the need for more investigations or photos.
