Description

Miss Inger Oyan is a native of Norway. She came to the United States six-months ago, at the age of twenty-two, to train as an airline stewardess. When her training is complete, she will be employed by the South American Far Eastern Transport Company, headquartered in Oslo, Norway. During the war Miss Oyan was a messenger for the Norwegian underground. She transported coded messages by train, usually over fifty miles. Each trip required Miss Oyan to gain permission to travel from a Nazi officer; her ingenuity was endless. Miss Oyan is shown sitting on a chair, dressed in a button-up blouse and a skirt.
