Data derived from many sources. Incorporates 125,000 entries from Aircrew Deaths 39-47 Database. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

Above: in his bush hat, Sqn Ldr Jack te Kloot supervises the bedding down of his aircraft at 'Piccadilly Peggy' Mustang III HB952/GN·F of Sqn Ldr J te Kloot: no air-to-air claims, he took a heavy toll of enemy aircraft during strafing attacks. Flying this aircraft on 28 September 1944, he led a highly profitable attack on Salonika airfield, where he personally destroyed a Ju 52/3m, an Italian aircraft and an He 111, as well as damaging a Go 242 glider. Later in the mission his aircraft took a cannon hit in the wing, and he was lucky to return. This ended a very successful week for him, as in two sorties over Greece a few days earlier he had destroyed five more Ju 52/3ms. He flew the final mission of his tour as CO of 249Sqn in GN-V 1944-12-02 when he led an attack on a road bridge near Bioce. The fighter had also been flown by Fit Lt R F Noble when he had shared in the destruction of the last aircraft claimed by the squadron on 31 October.
