Good Morning Major!
Please excuse my late reply. Thank you for replying to my introduction and sending the Japanese merchant ship photo. I have a neighbor who teaches at the Naval War College in Newport and he has helped to fill in my nonmilitary knowledge. A retired teacher in Falmouth gives lectures on the S. Pacific war on cruise ships. He is the person who gave me the "Ghost Mountain Boys," by James Campbell to initiate my background knowledge. Pacificwrecks.org, Justin Taylan is a fantastic data base for air corps records on New Guinea. Justin has taken some of Dads' airfield and airplane photos for his website. Apparently, aircraft hunters on New Guinea and JPACS MIA identification is still an ongoing situation. Thank you again for replying to my introduction.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Janet. It's good that there are people around studying the more obscure theaters of the war. That was 3 year campaign so it was far from a minor theater, but its not one most Americans would even recognize as having happened at alSadlydly, there are many things about WWII that most people in America wouldn't recognize. >sigh<
