A really cool CGI video about this historic event which happened about 5 km from the place I currently live.

On the 13th of May 1940 A Fokker T-5 bomber escorted by 2 Fokker G-1 fighters received the order to bomb the Moerdijk bridges to prevent the Germans to advance further in to The Netherlands. The bomber succeeded in releasing his bombs, however, one bomb did not go off and one missed the target, so the mission failed. While returning home they were attacked by a great number of German Messerschmitts downing the Fokker T-5 and 1 Fokker G-1, killing all. This really, really stunning simulation of the raid (made in Flightsimulator FSX) shows the events.
