Norwegian term

help with second sentence please

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) scheme at a company
Not sure whether this is an expression or not:
Begge er født i 1939 (de var spesielt heldige med den årgangen).
Does this mean that 'they pere particularly successful in those years', or something else? I'm not sure I understand.
