German WWI Aviators Who Later Became Air Attaches For Sweden

Gentlemen,

Do you any German World War I aviators who in their later years served a term or more as air attaches for Sweden. The reason why I asked is I'm interested in their Swedish Orders that they earned and the contributions that they did for Sweden especially during WWII when Sweden remained neutral. I only know one so far. He was Oberst (later Maj.Gen.) Peter-Jens Petersen. I saw a picture of him wearing the Kommandeurkreuz II.Klasse des Kgl. Schwedischen Schwerterorderns around his throat. I think I better let the forum members from Sweden figure this question out.

Sincerely,

Edward

P.S. What was the name of that German WWI aviator who later formed Saab Aircraft Company in Sweden?

I show him as Jens-Peter (??), and that he served as an observer with FA 271(A) from 4Jun18 - EOW. R.

Dear Sir,

You're right about the first two names. Jens-Peter Petersen it is.

Edward

P.S.:*Sigh!* Seems there were plenty of Germans that were named Peter Petersen in those days!
