I could do with some help with info on F/L G.A.Holland RCAF and F/O W.H.Wilkinson of 605 Sqn who flew an intruder sortie to Rheine airfield on the night of 20/21-4-44, they never returned and were listed missing.
I know that they were buried in the Reichwald Forest War Cemetery.

In case the ORB didn't mention it, Flight Lieutenant Glen A. Holland was an American. He is listed MIA in several of my sources but the crash site was not identified.

Perhaps the RAF did not investigate the crash, collect police reports, or interview the locals. But maybe someone else did. You might have more success if you tried to track down Glen Holland's family through one of the RCAF veterans associations. They, or perhaps his hometown newspaper may have done the research for you.

Holland earned his RCAF wings in October 1941, and there might be at least one publicly available document that contains his last known U.S. address and/or place of birth.
