That looks like Joe Holgun's old list. Holgun was in a heavy bomber group and
ended up a guest of the emperor.


Yes. It was published in "Rabaul" by Henry Sakaida. I borrowed it &
put it on the net, and every year or so somebody writes me with new
information. For example, Holguin's list mispelled the name of Harlan
Pease, so I had no idea when it posted it that the list struck so
close to home. (I live across Great Bay from the former Pease Air
Force Base, now Pease International Tradeport.)

Pappy Boyington's is the most famous name on the list. With several
others, he made it out to Japan before the outright murders began.

I don't know much about this particular subject, what I have been posting has
come to me second hand from a pal researching it. I've asked him to jump in
here, but he says posting on usenet is a waste of time, time he'd rather spend
doing actual research and writing.


Wise man!
