 Rear-Admiral Karel Willem Frederick Marie Doorman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Karel Willem Frederick Marie Doorman was born on April 23rd, 1889, at Utrecht and entered the Royal Netherlands Naval College in Den Helder at the age of 17.
Considering Doorman had earned his wings as a young officer and had a very close connection with the naval air service, he can undoubtedly be qualified as being "air-minded" and must have been aware of the importance of an adequate air reconnaissance.
Doorman was always asking for assistance from aircraft and, during the last staff conference on February 26th, 1942, he told the Naval Commander Surabaya that he sincerely hoped he could rely on the necessary information and assistance from the air.

 The Java Sea Battle, February 1942
Rear-Admiral Doorman made contact with the enemy surface vessels at about 4.12pm that afternoon, 50miles north of Surabaya, sighting a Japanese squadron consisting of at least two heavy cruisers of the Nati class, plus a number of other enemy cruisers and thirteen destroyers organised in two flotillas.
Doorman continued the chase, after nightfall Doorman had to contend with Japanese reconnaissance aircraft dropping flares illuminating his ships and for a short while engaged another Japanese surface force of cruisers, which could not be identified.
Hits were made by both sides in the salvo of high explosive projectile exchange, but as the allied squadron was in the act of altering course for another round of battle, the two Dutch cruisers both blew up simultaneously in a massive cavalcade of seawater and steel armour plate with a huge loss of life.
