Bluie West One

I would like to email or talk to anyone who flew into or served at the American airbase at Narsassuaq in Greenland, called Bluie West One. It went into service I believe in 1942 and was a stop for aircraft being ferried from the United States to Britain.

And can anyone suggest why 'Bluie' should have been chosen as a code name for the Greenland bases?

My email address is in the sig file. Thanks!

all the best

No I never served there but I interviewed a vet whom was stationed there as part of the AA personel stationed there, he was there from 42-45

Is the interview available anywhere?

Is the vet?

Fate is the Hunter by Ernest K Gann describes flying in there regularly.

HERE (please click), the writer is asking (and trying to find out) exactly the same thing "why One? why West? and above all, why Bluie?"

Some interesting reading there
