Re: Dutch Fokker ( with Dutch crew ) landing on a lake - 1940
Paul Peters - Fantastic site! Thanks! I thought the Fokker T.VIIIw was another plane, an earlier Fokker triplane used by KLM during the 30īs...From the photos I can see it was a very rugged aircraft.
Dennis - I do have heard about this book. There is an English version and I am glad to know, thanks to your knowledge on the subject, that there were 3 successful pick-ups by seaplanes on Holland. I do have a huge admiration for this kind of operations carried out mostly by 1419 Flight and later by 138 and 161 Squadrons. I really did not know this kind of operations was carried out by 320 Squadron until reading this old book about Coastal Command. I will carry on my researches on this field. Thank you again for your kind answer and for leading me to other books and fields of knowledge.
I wish both of you and all those who participated on this thread a Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year. I do have met a lot of good people on this Forum and have learned a lot too! Yours,
Adriano
