[spectre] The Flying Dutch Woman gone again

[Louise Desrenards]

The Tripartite Pact of the Axis Berlin-Rome-Tokyo would only be signed
at the end of September, 1940. While the Second World War had been
under way, the American female aviator Amelia Earhart [7] was the
first woman to attempt a flight to circumnavigate the globe above the
Equator. Her route and fuel provisioning have been planned by the US
Army. She was supposed to fly over Marshall Islands, for which Japan
had received a mandate from the League of Nations, when she
disappeared from radio radars on the 2nd of July, 1937. The same year
on the 24th August Katja Bottemanne was born in Batavia (currently
Jakarta, Java Island, the former Dutch East Indies). In her lifetime,
Katja Cavagnac inspired an editorial-fiction, a dedication, to be
published in the online review #4 of www. criticalsecret.com at the
beginning of 2001. On the 25th of January, 2015, she passed away. The
editorial has since become a tale intended as a double dedication and,
maybe, an epitaph.

She was my friend.

Rest In Peace, Katja.

My inspired and inspiring  friend.

Actually I have dedicated her a section in our blog.
http://www.criticalsecret.net/-tribute_to-katja-bottemanne-cavagnac,054-.html

The section has 3 items.
Two of them are waiting for  good translations to come as soon as possible.

The first one in a sort of biography.

The last one in a sort of research thanks to online English and Dutch
sources, following testimonies from her children, on the Japanese
occupation of Java--at the time of the Netherlands East Indies--
during WW II.

Currently her daughter Céline Cavagnac is a musicologist and a violin
virtuoso specializing in Baroque music. Her son Romain Cavagnac is
Head Production at Wanda France.

Guy Cavagnac her husband is a director and as a producer specially
known inter alia for the first productions of Chantal Akerman.

That her inspiration remains with us.

PS / If somebody from The Netherlands knows plus on WW II in Java and
may be on her father Casper Josephus Bottemanne (1900 - 1960).
Please tell me.

Anyway I wish you a good journey.
