Lars Olausson

Olausson was born in Älvdalen, Sweden, the son of Oscar Olausson and his wife Ebba (née Käns). He passed studentexamen in Västervik in 1947 and Olausson's efforts provide a source for operators' discrete records, from Air America and the CIA in Southeast Asia, up to the covert rendition aircraft of current day. It would appear that Lockheed Martin, the current producer of the C-130, finds the volume a useful reference, as they provide substantial new production information each year. The current edition runs 170 pages, the upper limit of international postal weight rates the author is willing to bear. Olausson's efforts have contributed a valuable resource to the Hercules community. ==Personal life==
