Interesting story, thanks for posting. My late Father was a bombardier in a B-24 with the 5th Army Air Corps in Papua New Guinea. He would have been 99 years-old this year. He always wanted to go back and visit New Guinea and was planning a trip there when he passed away in 1988.

Not to nitpick but it was the Fifth Air Force. They really helped turn the tide in the Pacific War and its commander General Kenney was a legend.
