Krefft. Whatever happened to their lives, what they did after the War, and during WW2 is a mystery. (sorry spelling sucks, been up way to may hours)
Now upon further detective work and a lot of phone calls and e-mail correspondences I did find out that:
----Max Voss - Survived both the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Died on 04 Sept 1959 in München, Germany - ‘Der Oberbürgermeister Standesamt Krefeld – 2008.
---Otto Voss - Survived both the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Died on UNK - ‘Geschiedenis.NL (The Flying Huzaar)’ by Rainout Hubbers – Pg 6.
and Manfred isn't telling - Period.
Sorry to leave you all hanging, but need to keep the suspense there, till you read about it in my book. Lots of interesting answers about mum and dad Voss as well.
Well I'm off to bed.

Hi Tom,
Why thank you for bothering with my little Voss article of almost two years ago! I don´t usually get referred to by authors, so I´ll remember this one for a while!
I found that bit about Max and Otto giving interviews after the war in one of my books. I´m not sure which one and you kind of have me at a difficult time to find it: I´m leaving for France this Sunday and have lots of preparing to do. Remind me again in two weeks!
My article does contain some errors by the way, and a few things that could have been worded better. Since writing it I managed to purchase Barry Diggens´ book that had a lot of new information to me. If I read my work now I still agree with the writing style but do cringe at some easy to spot errors. Ah well, if it gets any Dutch youngster hooked on WWI aviation, I´ll live it up!
P.S.: that article really should not be on geschiedenis.nl anymore. It should only be found on
Historiën - Hier wordt geschiedenis geschreven which is the successor site. Over a year ago, the URL geschiedenis.nl was lost to us when the owner decided to move the site into a new direction. Little came of it, but all the authors started anew with a different site and have requested and even demanded frequently to have our articles removed from the old site. They are our copyright of course.
Kind regards,
Reinout
