Lotte Christin Eigeland

She grew up in Bleik, a small fishing village on the outer edge of the ocean on the island of Andøya in the Vesterålen archipelago. With family ties to the Norwegian Armed Forces and a close connection to Andøya Air Station, she developed an early interest in aviation history and the interwar period.

Eigeland has worked, among other places, at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo and has published, translated, and edited academic literature on prehistoric periods in Norway and Northern Europe. The Night Flyers is her debut novel.
