Oluf Bernhard Reed-Olsen (8 July 1918 – 14 October 2002) was a Norwegian resistance member and pilot during World War II.

[1] When World War II reached Norway with a German invasion on 9 April 1940, he started resistance work on the same day.

Reed-Olsen had easier access around town because he had joined the civil firefighting squad of Furulund as a team leader and owned a motorbike.

After the wind turned again, they almost reached the Thames, when on 29 September they were picked up by the British destroyer HMS Bedouin.

[8] After a diversion when the ship had to salvage crashed pilots (one of five was alive), the Norwegians set foot in Edinburgh on 4 October.

They reported at the Norwegian recruiting office, spent one month in the city before leaving for Canada via Scotland, on the ocean liner SS Duchess of Richmond.

[14] In the autumn of 1943 he operated the radio station codenamed Meton in Lommedalen together with Hjelm Waage Thurn-Basberg,[15] with whom he had worked in Southern Norway.

[1] He chronicled his war experiences in the books Contact (1946, reissued 1983) and Vi kommer igjen (1953), (published in English as Two Eggs On My Plate).

[14] The first book was made into the motion picture Kontakt in 1956, with Reed-Olsen contributing as a screenwriter and actor.
