Re: de Havilland Dragon Rapide destroyed Jan. 26th, 1942 Penfui, Koepang, Timor

The strafing of Koepang is pretty well known as is also the downing of the unfortunate Goose

What is curious to me is your statement that the DH 89 had six casualties. From where does that origin?

I don't have the Boer book regarding the loss of Java, but the date stated by Peter is at odds with other data. I have a note it was finally abandoned at Andir on March the 3rd and still there on the 8th (Harm Hazewinkel)
It is possible it was broken up as per Dutch Army order even later.
