    Unfortunately, newspaper article has incorrect nationality of pilot

    Also, he was born in Holland, but family came to USA when he was 8 months old, records show that they were Naturalized US Citizens, he grew up in California, hence the reason he is buried in Hollywood, CA (as well as the rest of his family)

    He was killed whilst flying in Cornell, 15027 of No 31 EFTS, which crashed whilst attempting a practice forced landing near Gladys, Alberta
