Data is presented as far as it is known. Or believed to be known. Deeper research is likely to yield more bits of data, and possibly more surprises. That has been the routine up to now.

Crash datasheets were developed on an individual aviator basis, but link to other aviators if more than one was killed or went missing as a result of the same crash. Thus a page will be named for the Crew captain but will contain the data for all his crew members. To discover the page containing data for the crew member of interest (assuming he wasn't the Crew captain), use the Site Search box at the top of the page to search for his name. This will direct you to the correct page(s).

Author has come to see certain earlier data, either published or not, as quite often inaccurate. Perhaps the most telling example of this is the crash locations given for J.L. Plesman, C. van Houten, P.H. Stenger and J. Veen. All four were Dutch RAF Spitfire pilots, and all are reported to have been lost in the St. Omer area, Northern France. That may be basically true, but it cannot be called accurate. Author shall argue that J.L. Plesman was lost some 30 km East of St. Omer, and the three others 35 to 41 km West of St. Omer. It is the object of this study to clear up such fog as far as possible.
