Re: Chi Chi Jima incident, Japanese War Crimes

Scott, the crew associated with Warren Hindenlang from VBP-109 can be found starting on this page and continuing on the next:

Hindenlang was the copilot and Elmer H Kasperson was the pilot. There was a crew of 11. All are still missing and listed in Honolulu except for Frye who is buried in Honolulu.
For some reason Frye does not come up on the abmc website, but is on findagrave here:

The plane was lost the night of August 4/5 1944.

There is a book by Norman M Miller and and Hugh B Cave called "I took the Sky Road". Miller was the commanding officer of VBP-109. The crew is mentioned in the appendix but unfortunately the Google preview does not show the pages when the incident occurred. Click the blue "Page 212" to see the entire crew list on this link:
