Richard and Joe. My name is Richard Woolderink and I wrote the book ”Raalte in wartime ’40-’45”. The B17’s Noah and Archbishop crashed near Nieuw Heeten. A small town inside the municipality of Raalte / Netherlands. I have more information about both crashes including photographs from the crashsites. I received family from crewmembers who wanted to visit the crash-sites. Also a map from the cemetary in Raalte with all the allied graves. The USA casualties were after ’45 buried at Margraten or in the USA. I am glad to help you with more information and pdf-files from my book. I can take the text from the pdf and have it translater into English with AI. Contact me at wolde313@planet.nl
