Danger and death everywhere; Fred Sutherland's harrowing tale
2013
Overview
Sutherland had been one of the very last to bail out as, disconnected, he had been jettisoning any loose equipment to lighten the plane and had not heard the order to bail out. Knight was surprised when Sutherland poked his head up into the cockpit and asked: \"What's happening?\" Knight, surprised, immediately ordered Sutherland to bail. Knight stayed at the controls and probably attempted a belly crash landing. The plane came down, still circling left into a field near the Dutch village of Den Ham but suddenly hit a raised ditch, catapulting Knight through the cockpit window, killing him. His body was found by sympathetic Dutch citizens near the plane. Sutherland's plans called for him to travel by train with a courier to Rotterdam, then Paris, then on to Toulouse and to gathering places near the Pyrenees Mountains where Sutherland would connect with Basque guides to take them up and over the precarious Pyrenees \"freedom trail\" at night. Some would plunge to their deaths in the darkness.
