Flying Dutchmen

Шаблон:Stack In the early years of World War II, Nazi Germany occupied the Netherlands.[5] Between 1942 and 1944, the United States permitted 500 displaced Dutch aviators to train at Jackson Army Airbase, which became known as the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School.[6] During those years, more than two dozen Dutchmen were killed in local training accidents. In recognition of their service, the City of Jackson donated a plot of ground within Cedar Lawn Cemetery to the Netherlands for burial of their dead.[7]
