I saw a letter by my wife’s grandfather, who was a troop transport commander in the Solomons describing the japanese airman they retrieved (dead)after shooting him down in August 41, Enclosed was a 10 yen script from him.

Now, that's interesting. Do you suppose your wife knows the name of the transport her grandfather served on? (I'll bet it was August 42 instead of 41.)
