Re: Major William Horrigan USAAF Java PoW 1942

I have just found a very interesting interview with John Wright. It is quite a long account of his life, but the key section for us starts in Part 4 of the tapes, around the 21:30 mark. John is in a hospital in Java and getting ready to be flown out in a B-18 piloted by a West Pointer. One of the other passengers has a wooden leg. Sound familiar? He describes the plane, the flight and later events in some detail.
