Description
Having returned from the first 8th Air Force Russia Shuttle mission (Operation FRANTIC) less than two weeks earlier, 4th Fighter Group pilot Capt. Neil "Dutch" Van Wyk steals a quick glance at his dog "Colonel" as he prepares to depart from Debden on an escort mission circa mid-July 1944. Van Wyk's P-51B was appropriately named FLYING DUTCHMAN. "Dutch" flew with the 4th from October 1943 until February 1945. Though not an ace, Van Wyk was regarded as a solid combat pilot and promoted to squadron operations officer, leading many missions.
