Re: Major William Horrigan USAAF Java PoW 1942
Rolland, great followup!
The bay off Semarang makes sense reading further with the Wright description of walking to Kendal. This whole evasion and escape mission is so sad with the plane crash landing half way back to Bandung. Little wonder why Wright describes the Horrigan reaction after the beach landing, having tears in his eyes over this failed escape attempt; So close yet so far... I guess what is truly amazing is that so many aboard this plane survived the war in various Japanese POW camps to tell their stories after the war.
