This is a story that has fascinated me for many years. Fantastic to get a response from one of the crew involved. Thank you very much for your contribution Mr. Lub.

I assume Harry Moekardanoe is the same pilot that downed a Zero on 2 April 1945 over the Pacific, flying a Fleet Air Arm Hellcat? I once found his original combat report of this event in the London National Archives a few years ago, including his signature at the bottom. It was interesting to see this unique piece of Dutch naval aviation history.
