World War II Allied Aircraft Crashes in The Netherlands & North Sea

Jan Nieuwenhuis, from Texel Island, The Netherlands, has put together an extensively researched database of these crashes.

It does cover more aircraft than just the P‑38, but the info he has on Lightning crashes alone is worth a visit.

You can do a search by aircraft, crew member or cemetery/memorial. It is an ongoing project, so check back often. (Make sure to click "X" in the box at the bottom to activate the database!)

Not a P-38 link, but someone who we know well deserves to be included!

We are not affiliated with the USAF or Lockheed.
Our entire operation is supported entirely by people like you.

You should also know that we do not EVER  sell, trade or otherwise
share your information with any other company or individual.

As our parents, grandparents and friends who were "hands on" with the P-38 Lightning are continuing to leave us, keeping this website available as a tribute to them is vital.  This aircraft was an important part of their lives and their history, and to carry on this legacy, we need funding.

What would you pay for a good aviation DVD or book? If you enjoy this website, please consider a financial contribution of the same amount to help defray our increasing costs and ensure that this part of aviation history continues to be available to people all over the world.

We have a page to thank our website's financial contributors and will add your name when you make a contribution.  No donation is too small, after all $1 from a million visitors will keep us going a very long time!
