About Thor Solberg

  • Thor Solberg (March 28, 1893 – February 26, 1967) was a Norwegian-born aviation pioneer who made the first successful flight from the United States of America to Norway in 1935.
  • He made the journey, which started in New York City, in an open-cockpit single-engine aircraft with no landing instruments.
  • For this reason, he was restricted to an altitude of 1,000 to 10,000 feet (300 to 3,050 m).
  • Solberg also founded the Solberg-Hunterdon Airport in New Jersey.
