| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc - "Lt. Col. James M. Cushing was an American mining engineer who happened to be in Cebu when war broke out in the Pacific. He soon took charge of the local guerrillas and became a legendary leader. But his most spectacular exploit came when he captured Admiral Fukudome and the "Plan Z." The result was a ferocious fight between Cushing's guerrillas and the Japanese occupation forces. While Cushing desperately sent out messages to MacArthur saying what he had found, the Japanese scoured the countryside, killing hundred of civilians in a full-scale attempt to retrieve their loss." - Roderick Hall
