- Summary, etc. - Personal account by an American enlisted man with the 27th Bomb Group. He arrived in Manila just before the war broke out, and his unit's planes, in a separate convoy, never reached the Philippines. Merritt thus fought as an infantryman in Bataan. He was in Hospital #2 during the surrender, was taken prisoner and served time in work details in the Port Area, as a prisoner of war in Bilibid, Cabanatuan, POW hellship to Japan (on the Noto Maru). He was liberated in Japan. He claims to have met and talked with Gen. Brereton, commander of the Far East Air Force, in Nielson Field in December 1941. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
