Lt. Michael F. Wolf -
some details:
Jersey Shore High
School - Class of '37
Susquehanna
University - Class of '41
1 of 1619 Prisoners of War
aboard the "Hell
Ship" ORYOKU
MARU
(Memorial Day update: 010528)
Although earlier records identified
the 19th Bomber Group,
further investigations by me now show that Lt. Wolf was attached
to the 27th Bombardment Group (L) , 91st
Bombardment Squadron.
This information is from the very helpful folks at the
American
Battle Monuments Commission,
which will be updating their database!
(Update: 010618)
A new, very informative web site,
The Oryoku
Maru Story,
lists post-war trial information and
POW names, among many other items.
If you visit, please sign their Guestbook,
simply to let them know you were interested.
Thank you.
