On June 17th,1944, this aircraft with a crew of 7 airmen, having flown on a nightly raid from Croft, UK, crashed in Holland, shot down by a nightfighter, while outward bound to Sterkrade, Germany. Three members of the crew were killed in the crash. Three menbers were eventually caught and became prisoners of war (POW).

The Canadian navigator, F/O Roy Carter, evaded for three weeks before being caught in Tilburg with 2 other allied airmen(Australian and British). All three were executed by the German SD on Sunday, July 9th, 1944.

This blog will attempt to tell the story of my brother, Roy Carter, and all the airmen and Dutch helpers, involved in his attempt to evade the enemy and return to his base in the UK.
