My name is Arie-Jan van Hees. Born in 1960, I studied marketing and business and have been employed in several work environments: business, export-management, government, the Dutch Ministry of Defence and the Veterans’ Institute. For more than 25 years I am involved in researching various aspects of World War II. This resulted in several publications. I regularly give lectures on military subjects. My military experience spreads over 18 years: compulsory national military service and serving as a non-commissioned officer in the Dutch Territorial Army (Infantry Branch) for 16 years. As a parachutist I did 53 staticline parajumps 'military style'. At present I am active as a military history researcher. I write articles for military and aviation magazines, co-operate with several military organisations and work as a battlefield guide. | · Dutch Study Group Air War 1939 – 1945 I privately published two books: · 'Tugs and Gliders To Arnhem' (2000) · 'Green On! The Story of Arnhem Re-supply' (2004). In addition to this I am a moderator of the Market Garden Foundation's Digital Monument. For Market Garden Tours visit: http://www.marketgardentours.nl
