Airmen Assisted by Joke Folmer 

The list below of 55 airmen helped by Joke Folmer represents only a fraction of the some 320 airmen credited to her.  Record-keeping was hazardous!  What I have typed up is intended to assist in an Internet search finding a listing: airman’s name, address, air force (USAAF or RAF), date shot down, and line number on the original three-page listing in Ms. Folmer’s helper file.

Following the list there is the three page table in pdf file format that I scanned from Ms. Folmer’s helper file and contains the full information for each airman. Note that escape and evasion  report numbers have been written in opposite the names of some of the airmen.  Use the number at the end of each typed listing for an airman to find the corresponding entry for him in the table.
