Oral History Interview with George W. Denby, February 2, 2008

When he regained consciousness, he fired on his target and returned to the Enterprise. The next day, he was wounded in a dogfight with seven Zeroes.

Oral History Interview with John Ream, February 2, 2002

They remained imprisoned from late 1941 through their liberation in February of 1945. After the war, their family traveled to San Francisco and established life in the United States.
