Dean's World

Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

From The Mailbag: World War II Finds

From my (chronically overfilled) inbox comes a note from Mike Olds:

Hey there. I'm a reader of your blog who saw you posted a bit about WWII in Japan.

Right now I am in Palau (search for the battle of Peleliu) searching for the remains of MIA's and POW's. There's a blog from this expedition at bentpropsupporters.blogspot.com and a history of previous expeditions at bentprop.org. Check it out, you won't regret it.

I checked it out. I didn't regret it.

Go. Now.

Great Dean, another Blogspot site hammered by Deansworld traffic. Put that man on a real blog host!

Excellent idea, excellent blog, excellent mission. Many people may not know that the number of American MIA in WW2 dwarfs the MIAs in Vietnam.

Great Blog! I'm sending the link to the ADBC (American Defenders of Bataan and Corrigedor) and the BBB (Battling Bastards of Bataan). I'm sure some of their members will be very interested. Thanks for highlighting the site!
