Officier-vlieger J. Blok

On 27 March 1944 Officier-vlieger J. Blok and sergeant-vlieger S. (Simon) de Ridder - a good friend of him - collided in mid-air. One Hellcat destroyed the tail of the other while changing formation. Both planes crashed and both pilots lost their lives in the acccident.

What a sad story Hanno. I hope you find those files so we can learn more about Johan and Simon.
