For those interested…
I have made a software programme called “World War II Allied Aircraft Crashes in The Netherlands”.
The purpose of the programme is to search for information about allied aircraft crashes in The Netherlands in the Second World War.
The programme connects to the Internet to get the data and you can search the database by first selecting the type of aircraft, airfield/base, squadron, crash area and/or year of the crash; Any combination is possible. Once you have made your choice, you can search for a specific aircraft wartime registration code or the name of a crew member.
The programme furthermore can give you information about the used airfields in the United Kingdom and general details about aircraft types.
Some images of crew members and/or an image of the aircraft may also be available.
On a ‘Statistics’ page you can view some statistics about the database content, for example the number of crashes for a specific area in Holland. All provinces are separately listed as well as the West Frisian Islands, North Sea, Wadden Sea, IJsselmeer and Noordoostpolder.
The programme is available for free, has no advertising, and can be downloaded via: http://ww2.texlaweb.nl/
Any comments about the software (good or bad) or any new information about the subject is highly appreciated…

Deserves a wide audience
These young men who lost their lives, do not cry for them,They are not really gone, you know; It’s just a body which they left behind,They will only be gone forever when we no longer remember them..
Free translation into English from a text by Bram Vermeulen (1946 – 2004)

Well, to be honest this area of interest is really not my own cup of tea, but I must say that this looks a very formidable project! You should be congratulated for assembling this database of information, and for sharing it.
That is right and proper historical research of the ‘old style’, there. Brilliant.
