Re: P-47 42-8435 on 20th february 1945
Danny,
Thanks for you help! An eyewitness stated that the pilot broke his leg on landing. He gave his parachute to the Dutch people who helped him. So I don't think he would have died from a broken leg. Although it is possible he died later on during the War.

Bas,
Woodland Cemetery information does say that Lt Henry M. Deja died on 20 February 1945... See http://www.interment.net/data/us/id/...wn/wood_ce.htm Also found this on the website of his former school: http://ihmacademy.com/ihmgraduates1925-31.html Son Henry M DEJA, b 18 Jun 1923, enlisted from the Reserves on 15 Feb 1943 at Buckley Field, Denver, served in WW2 as 1st Lt in 512th AAF Fighter Squadron, and died 20 Feb 1945. Groet, Leendert
