Venlo Airfield Y-55

My father, Elmer Pankratz, was a P-51 (F-6) pilot in the 363rd Tactical Recon. He flew out of an airfield that was in Belgium and partly in Germany. It was called Venlo Airfield Y-55. There was a book written by Hub Groeneveld about the time he was stationed at that field. It is called " Venlo Airfield Y-55 : The 363rd Tactical Recon Group at a Dutch Airfield March - April 1945". Does any one know where I could obtain a copy of this book or how to contact Hub? I'm sure my father would love to read it.

Re: Venlo Airfield Y-55

Gary,

I have send you by email Hub's email address.
If you contact him it can take a while.
Hub is spending a lot of time in Spain.
I do not know if he is online there.
If it takes to much time contact me by p.m.

Jaap

Re: Venlo Airfield Y-55

Hello Gary,

I am sure Hub won't mind if I would send you scans of this volume (if you should not hear from him soon, he might be in Spain)

You may contact me off board: marcelhogenhuis[at]gmail.com

All the best, Marcel
(a friend and research colleague of Hub)
