Re: Luftwaffe losses Belgium 10.06.43

During ww 2 on 10-06-43, my father was eyewitness of a aircombat above EEKLO (between Ghent and Bruges).One plane was shut down and fell in the surroundings of the watertower. According to information of a member of the resistance, the pilot was "a Hollander", and flew for the Luftwaffe in a converted French plane !?? The same day became a second Dutch aviator missing during the same raid to LANGERBRUGGE, ramrod 80, but flying for the 167 SQN of the RAF; his name P/O C T de IONGH ("Fighter Command Losses" vl 2, p 102, of NORMAN L R FRANKS).
My question: did the Luftwaffe JG 1 have a Dutch pilot in service and converted French planes ?
