In Memoriam

Klaas Willem Jonker
(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

On Monday 30 April 2018, Wilko Jonker died after a long illness at the age of 58. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The Dutch military aviation and plastic modeling were his hobby and on this website he shared all the knowledge he has collected over the years. His hobby has been able to distract him from the persistent disease in his body until the last week of his life. The contacts with other hobbyists were a major support for him.

This website will be maintained by different people for as long as possible, so that other enthusiasts can continue to benefit from extensive content.

Douglas DB-7/A20 Boston

The Douglas A-20As of the 18th Squadron NEI were directly from the USAAC and had the USAAC standard paint scheme for that period.
It is not certain whether the aircraft were equipped with Dutch markings (given the very short period this is unlikely).
