Post War
Between 1945 and 1956 von Rosen worked in Ethiopia as an instructor for the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. Despite his valuable service to Ethiopia, intrigues against him, particularly by his assistant Assefa Ayene, made working conditions for him so frustrating he eventually returned to Sweden. Afterwards von Rosen served as the pilot for the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjöld. However, von Rosen was grounded by illness when Hammarskjöld was killed in an air crash while mediating in the Congo Crisis.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or war:
“To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.”
—Emily Post (1873–1960)
“The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.”
—Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)
