Sgt. J.P.J. Bielefeldt, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service 1940

[Martin Gleeson]

Hallo,

This pilot was unhurt in the forced landing of Anson K6285 of 321 Squadron on 9/10 August 1940. Could anyone please help me with his full Christian names and Dutch naval rank ?

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.

Martin,
Mr P.E. van Loo of the Neth. Inst. of Mil. Hist. probably may have an answer. (penningmeesterATstudiegroepluchtoorlogDOTnl). Replace AT and DOT by obvious.
Regards,
Henk.

Martin,
Don't need to ask Mr van Loo; I found BIELEFELDT in my files. He was a Sergeant-Vlieger Koninklijke Marine (Sgt Pilot RNAS), first name was Johan, further initials P.J., born 23-11-1910, servicenumber 12682, he was killed 30-8-1941 on Hudson T9380. Will come up later with another link to this naval airman.
Regards,
Henk.

Martin,
His familyname was BIELFELDT (not BIELEFELDT) and his first names Johan Pieter Jurgen. Go to: http://www.ogs.nl, klick on 'Slachtofferregister', write behind 'Achternaam' (= Familyname) Bielfeldt and behind 'Voorletters' (= Initials) J.P.J. (with dots). Klick on 'Zoeken' (= Search) and klick on his family name Bielfeldt.
At your service,
Henk.

Also have on file that he came off course, crashlanded on the beach of Pendine Sands, Dyfed, hit anti-invasion obstacles and glided into sea. Anson wreckage recovered; became 2398M.
