  1. hi guys,
    Did you know that early 1942. Roosevelt despatched Congressman (aka Commander) Johnson to the Pacific to assess the situation? On a visit to New Guinea, the plane might have been on hazardous duty. Macarthur (el supremo) awarded our fearless emissary a high honour for gallantry.
    Appallingly, the pilot and crew received zilch.
    What was the real story behind the award? Did “Dug-out” Doug want Johnson to persuade FDR to make the Pacific a higher priority than Europe?
    After receiving the award, how could Johnson look any one (particularly a veteran) in the face?
