Aircraft lost over Holland in WW2

Posted by Harm Jan Strating on Mon Nov 25, 2002 01:21:07 PM

In the early 80s a book published in The Netherlands stated that around 8000 aircraft were lost over our country in the airwar of 1940-1945. Ever since reading that book I have tried to compile a list of all these aircraft but despite all my research I have not progressed any further than about 3000 aircraft (And that after more than 20 years. This leads me to conclude that either I am a lazy researcher or a lousy one).

I have searched the internet time and again to see if any list of aircraft lost over The Netherlands has been published but have been unable to find one. (I have only found information that deals with specific regions). So my question: is there anyone on this board who has done the same type of research and is willing to share that information with me or is the information readily available at a place I have not looked at?
