Dutch pilots killed 1840 FAA Sqdn. 1944.

Something abit different.

I am trying to locate pics - photos of two (Dutch) FAA pilots who were killed while on a training sortie on the 15.03.44.

Both were flying Hellcats, stationed at HMS Blackcap, Nr Warrington, Cheshire.

killed flying Hellcat JV161

Smith, Alexander, Joseph, Sgt V1

Danny
