The Last Mission of the Miller’s High Life
404 Pages
ISBN 978-1974622078

The author's strong interest in World War II military history, especially of the Pacific Theater and the Philippines, was spurred by the loss of his brother. He undertook a project to research the history of Navy Liberator squadron VPB101, to which his brother was assigned, and began an attempt to locate his brother’s remains so he could be brought home.

That search resulted in this book.

This is the story of that search, as well as the story of World War II in the Philippines, his wife's homeland.
