24th December 1944 Website
Hello All,
First of all a Happy New Year to you all! For a couple of years now I have spent time & money to investigate how a 8th AF mission was planned & executed. My particular interest went to the largest mission ever undertaken. I have decided to create a new website dedicated to the mission flown on Dec 24th 1944. Although this site is still under construction I already would like to share the url: www.24december1944.com I am very much new on making a website so I am still in a learning process. Currently I am working with wordpress. My Goal with this site is to tell the story about this mission: How was it planned? How was it executed? What were the results? To do this I have for almost every BG the mission report. This mission is off course known for the loss of Gen Castle. Also I have tried to recreate the mission in Google Earth based on planned data. Unfortunately I have been unable to upload the *.kmz file due to security issues on my site. I am still looking for a google earth plugin. If interested in the Google Earth *.kmz file please send me a PM and I will give it a try to share it via E-mail. Last couple of days I have done the following: I have uploaded formation plans for several units, the page with links can be found here: http://24december1944.com/formation-plans/ I have also uploaded the first pages of each MACR report linked with the Dec 24th Mission. This page with links can be found here: http://24december1944.com/macr/ Also updated are my personal info & sources. I still have a long way to go though but any feedback at this point is highly appreciated. Many Thanks, Kind Regards Joost de Raaf |

Hello All,
Since my last message there have been many updates on my website. Such as formation plans, personal stories, Statistics, General Naratives I have also recreated the mission as it was planned in Google Earth. It looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxvlNFzlebQ Although it is still not finished, I do think i shows the shear magnitude of this particular mission. If interested in the file, please send a E-mail to webmaster@24december1944.com Kind regards, Joost de raaf |
