Dutch Naval Air in the East Indies 1941-2

[USS GOLD STAR]

I'm seeking to gather first hand experiences of Dutch Navy personnel flying with the Marineluchtvaartdienst / Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service in the East Indies in 1941-42, both flight and ground personnel, or family members who have stories to tell. Dornier Do 24K X-boats, Consolidated Catalina Y-boats, and shipboard Fokker floatplanes operating from the Dutch cruisers, etc.

Anyone knowing of such people, or any website where such accounts are to be seen, please advise.

Cheers, Lou
