Re: Allied aircrafts down in VEldhoven Holland.
Ray,
A little correction: an F-5B was the photo reconnaissance version of a P-38 and not a P-51 (must be a typo on the nimh.nl website..!). Even so, Capt Cassaday was KIA and is now buried at Margraten. He was from Iowa. That same day another F-5B was lost at neighboring Eindhoven, 42-12981. There's a picture of Cassaday here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24554019@N06/3685557522/ Groet, Leendert

Re: Allied aircrafts down in VEldhoven Holland.
The old men pointed me a little in the direction of the typo. He said it was a double tailed airplane.
The townfolk talked about a coloured pilot but I guess after seeing the photo he was probably badly burnt. Thanks for the info.
