Sgt. James Bruckshaw

Royal Air Force 102 Squadron

(d.1st July 1941)

On July 1st 1941 crashed a Whitley Bomber of the 102 Squadron down at Maria-Hoop-Holland, a small village in the south of Holland. The plane came back after a raid to Duisburg-Germany and shot down by a German Nightfighter, Hptm. Werner Streib 1./NJG1, its was his 15th victory. The plane with serial nr T4233 crashed on a field about 500 metre south of the village.

The crew:

  • Pilot: Sgt. James Bruckshaw RAF
  • 2ndPilot: F/O. Arthur Pullen RAF
  • Observer: Sgt. Frank Coulby RAF
  • Airgr. Sgt. Donald Sills RAF
  • Airg. Sgt. John Newlands RAF

Unfortunately, the all crew were killed and buried at Jonkerbos War Cemetery Nijmegen-Holland. I'm looking for relatives of these crewmembers.
