Crew Inquiries > Crew 87 MZ297 WL-Z

To create a documentary following 70 years of liberation in the Netherlands, I am looking for information personal photo's off the crew about a crashed bomber Halifax in the night of 16/17 June 1944.

The aircraft MZ297 / WL-Z crashed at the height off the town Alphen aan den Rijn in South Holland. The aircraft was shot down by a German fighter. Unfortunately, lost the entire crew their lives.

Witnesses tell in making off the documentary about this crash. Now we are looking to get the best possible picture off the crash and his crew. There for i'm looking at pictures off the crew to give the lost crew a face in the documentary, and to remember them.

I'am looking information off,

Pilot: F / O. Earl Stewart Dwyer J / 19788 RCAF Age 22. Killed
Fl / Eng: P / O. John Henry Bolton 178 848 RAFVR Age 28. Killed
Nav: P / O. Stanley Keith Kaiser J / 87268 RCAF Age 25. Killed
