HI ALL,
I am researching and writing on a documentary book about MacArthur's Flying Column to Manila. The working title is the Flying Column Writing Project. It is a documentary about the lives of the men of the Flying Column, and those who assisted them. The Flying Column Writing Project is also a triumvirate. We share a large portion of our research with other authors, documentary film producers, researchers, and those searching for family history. If you have questions, ask, we may have the answer. If you know any member of the Flying Column, or know someone who does, I am interested in the member's life story - please contact me.
On a personal level, I search for my parents' military histories. I am interested in the 41st Inf Div, the 8th Cav Reg / 1st Cav Div, and the US Army Nurses who were held POW at Santo Tomas in Manila.

PS The Flying Column was the 1st Cav Div, 8th Cav Reg, the Philippine guerrillas, the Marine Air Group from Dagupan, the US Navy, the 44th Tank Bn, and several other attached units.
Although they were not part of the Flying Column, I mention the 37th Inf Div, too.
