I recall a set of documentaries (I think the name was The War in Color) It did a segment on the skitter killers. Really interesting and they rarely got a mention in any other documentary I have seen.

It's too bad. They say that before the malaria control unit was formed, malaria killed more allies than did Japanese bullets. There's a book out on it now. It was based on the memories of one of the Skeeter Beaters, and some of the details are not completely accurate, but the overall feeling is. My Dad's one of the men on the cover.
