Revisions
Westwood Fletcher was a captain by the 365th fighter group. He crashed during the battle of Arnhem i think in the small city of Elst Holland.
My father is born on the 26th of september 1944. He is named after Westwood Fletcher. (and me and my son also named Wes!)
Westwood returned to Elst in 1948. I have also included pictures from 1946 and 1948.
My question is: Is the plane that i have send to you the plane where Westwood Fletcher flew in?
I hope that you can send me any information about Westwood.
Kind regards and ik hope to hear from you soon.
