I have the task of writing a loader for .EXE and .COM files. Basically
I have to simulate what DOS does to load these files. Well, I cannot
seem to locate a reference anywhere which tells me what these files
look like. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The format of the .EXE file is explained in an appendix to the DOS manual in versions 2.0 and before. You'll find the information you need in the DOS Technical Reference Manual now. Make sure you set up a DOS-like program segment prefix, by the way. Some programs depend on it.
