His mother was Polish, and his father was Lithuanian. At the time, Poland and Lithuania were still part of the Russian Empire. • (01:05) At the time, Russia had compulsory military service. His father objected to the military, and was encouraged to emigrate by foreign agents. The agents helped him leave the country. • (02:20) His father left Lithuania essentially on foot and arrived in Germany. He took a train to Hamburg, and then took a train to America. Agents had talked him into leaving Germany. • (03:32) America was described as a “heavenly country” free of military obligation. • (05:04) The ship was full of Lithuanians, Poles, and some Russians and Germans. • (05:33) In Lithuania, his father had been a farmer. • (06:27) His father went to work at Niagara Falls, New York. A Lithuanian agent helped him secure a job in the area. • (06:44) Frank Sr. married while in New York. He and his wife had a son, Frank Jr., in 1916. • (07:06) While in Niagara Falls, Frank Sr. worked in a factory but didn’t care for it much as he was more accustomed to being a farmer. • (08:16) Frank Sr. subscribed to a Lithuanian newspaper and followed up on an ad from a real estate agency in Michigan. The newspaper advertised that there was a large amount of good land available in Michigan. • (09:09) The factory Frank Sr. worked in was a flourmill factory. • (09:58) Frank Sr. found a real estate agent who would help him move to Michigan and be a farmer. • (10:14) The real estate agent helped him secure land. This was about 1920. • (10:40) The farm was about six miles south and two miles east of Custer, near Barnes Lake. • (11:05) The agent helped Frank Sr. finance the farm. �• (11:34) The land was 480 acres of former timberland. The loggers had stripped it of timber, and left stumps. • (12:40) The loggers had been very wasteful and left logs with low quality wood behind. The land was full of rejected logs, in addition to the stumps. • (12:50) Frank Sr. used as much of the wood as possible for firewood. • (13:06) Frank Sr. bought horses, farm equipment, and cattle. Frank Jr’s Pre-Enlistment • (14:30) Frank Jr. graduated from Custer High School in 1936. • (14:47) Frank helped his father farm after graduating. • (15:05) Had never been sure of what he wanted to do after graduating. He always assumed, until his senior year that he would help his father farm. The superintendant wanted him to go to college. • (16:27) Frank hadn’t planned on going to college. He didn’t think it was a realistic goal at the time. • (16:20) He helped his father dynamite stumps. • (16:30) The superintendant was very forceful that Frank Jr. should go to college, and that he could help his father better with a college education. • (17:05) The superintendant knew people at Western Michigan University and wanted to arrange for Frank to attend there. • (18:26) Frank knew someone who worked on a car ferry in Ludington. • (19:25) Frank wasn’t sure if he could get a job in Ludington, as he had no way to go there and he felt he had an obligation to help his father farm. • (20:32) Frank suggested Western Michigan because he knew the superintendant had gone there, and he couldn’t think of any other colleges at the time. He was very worried the superintendant might hit him. • (20:54) Frank had been the “number two graduate” at the school. • (21:19) Frank worked on the car ferry in Ludington. • (21:38) He went to college afterward. • (21:48) Frank knew the man who worked on the ferry because he went fishing on a lake near Frank’s home. • (22:45) The superintendant made a phone call to the man in Ludington, and had Frank speak to him. �• (23:21) Frank was told he had a job if he came there immediately, as they needed help badly because of summer tourism. • (23:39) Frank talked to his parents, and began working at the car ferry. Enlistment • (24:02) He was drafted in 1941, after his fourth year of college. He was drafted before the Pearl Harbor attack. • (24:41) He was assigned to the 32nd Infantry Division at Camp Livingston, LA. • (25:52) Despite following the superintendants plan, he was not able to secure a better job after college because the Army “snatched him up.” • (25:46) At Livingston, half of the men lived in barracks and the other half lived in tends. • (26:08) Frank was assigned to a heavy weapons company, and was assigned to be the expert machine gunner. • (26:43) America was not yet involved in the war, but the war was raging in Europe. • (27:01) He was in the military a few months into his year of duty when Pearl Harbor was attacked. • (27:17) Roosevelt cancelled all the discharges because of the attack. He advised the nation that they were “in it for the duration.” • (28:22) At the time, the American Air Force [Army Air Corps] was sub-par. Roosevelt issued an order than anyone already in the Armed Services must be allowed to transfer if they so wished and passed the physicals. • (29:05) Frank decided to take the tests, and passed first class. He had to remind his Sergeant he was allowed to transfer. • (29:50) He had heard mostly about pilots prior to his enlistment in the Air Corps. • (30:16) He took various tests and physicals and was assigned to be the navigator. • (30:59) He is unsure why he was assigned to be the navigator, but “orders were orders.” • (31:28) The bombers were long-range, and could go on trans-Atlantic flights, regardless of light or weather conditions. • (32:09) The pilot’s duty was to handle the plane; the navigators’ duty was to help them find their way. �• (32:37) He was assigned to the B-24 bombers. • (32:56) He was in training for about six months for navigation training. • (33:14) He flew planes specially designated to train navigators. All the planes used the same kind of navigation systems. • (33:44) There were schools throughout the nation; one was in Monroe, LA. There were other schools elsewhere. • (34:28) He was trained to navigate by the stars. • (35:30) The navigators also used broadcasting stations to triangulate their position. • (36:40) Triangulation had to be performed very quickly as the plane traveled 200 mph. Then they had to notify the pilot of their position. • (37:04) Navigation was especially critical over the ocean, as the radio aids could not be used. • (37:21) Navigators also used the sun and the moon to navigate. • (37:46) After being established as a qualified navigator, he was assigned to a bomb squadron. • (38:28) The Air Force had about ten thousand bombers, which were divided up into a few dozen bombs groups. First plane crash • (38:37) He was assigned to the 13th Air Force, which consisted of B-24’s. • (39:03) B-17’s, B-24’s, and the later B-29’s were all four-engine bombers. • (39:27) There were ten men in his crew- the pilot, the co-pilot, the bombardiers, the navigator, and six gunners. (There was a pilot, a co-pilot, a flight-engineer (who was also a waist-gunner), a bombardier, a radio operator, a tail-turret gunner, a front turret gunner, a ball turret gunner, and a second waist-gunner and himself) (Maleckas 17) • (40:23) All of the crew was officers, except for the gunners. • (41:24) Frank’s first pilot was Aldan A. Aleman • (41:43) Aldan was from Santa, Anna CA. He was a college graduate. • (42:01) Frank and Aldan were very close friends. • (42:51) The crew trained together. �• (43:04) They were assigned to pick up a new airplane in Colorado. There was an ice storm at the time. • (44:30)The pilot objected to the operation, because it was “not flying weather.” Command ordered the pilot to fly above the storm. • (45:44) The storm had rain which fell as liquid, but froze on contact. • (45:57) While in flight, the leading edge of the wing began building up a wall of ice. • (47:08) As they reached altitude, Frank gave the pilot an estimated time of arrival and directions. The plane began vibrating increasingly. • (47:46) The pilot couldn’t make the plane climb to the safe altitude above the storm, and the plane began to lose altitude. • (48:17) The plane began falling at 8,000 feet. • (48:57) The pilot advised everyone to put on their parachutes and prepare to bail. • (49:33) They were “in the soup,” that is, in the clouds. • (50:11) The order to bail never came, but he bailed anyway. • (50:48) The plane hit the ground and blew up. Frank was the only survivor. • (51:24) After the plane crash, Frank was “emotionally wrecked,” and hospitalized for a week. At the end, the doctor advised him he was “fit to fly.” • (52:10) Frank certainly didn’t feel “fit to fly” but decided the doctor was a better judge of his health and trusted his judgment. The Pacific Theater • (52:29) He next sent to the Pacific. He had to bail out again while in the Pacific, and landed in the ocean. • (52:50) After the second crash he was hospitalized for two weeks. • (53:11) He flew with many planes, and was assigned to a new crew. • (53:54) Frank saw combat in the Solomon Islands. • (54:15) He also saw combat at Guadalcanal. • (54:15) He found combat to be very unpleasant. • (55:01) The targets were usually enemy facilities, such as airports and sometimes harbors. �• (55:20) Air bases were the usual targets. • (55:37) Frank once flew over Truk Atoll, but the orders to bomb were not given, as it was only a reconnaissance mission. • (56:40) Estimates that 90% of his combat took place on the Solomon Islands. • (57:25)His crew attacked Choiseul and always encountered enemy fighters there. • (57:40) They also usually encountered enemy ground-fire. • (57:56) The Japanese vigorously defended their bases with anti-aircraft guns. • (58:15) The plane frequently came back with shrapnel and bullet holes, but no serious damage usually. • (58:40) Once, one of the planes lost a motor. • (59:25) They frequently flew reconnaissance, in addition to bombings. • (59:34) He doesn’t recall how many crews he flew with. He flew with four crews (Maleckas, XI) • (59:34) He doesn’t believe he flew on reconnaissance missions more than other navigators. • (01:00:02) Reconnaissance missions were very high priority. • (01:00:10) Reconnaissance missions usually lasted seven to eight hours of flight time, and about ten to twelve hours if pre and post mission procedures were included. • (01:01:04) Combat was usually within five hundred miles from their air base. • (01:01:20) The bombers usually had fighter escorts • (01:01:35) Japanese fighters were sometimes sent against them, and then the escorts would engage. • (01:02:01) Enemy fighters seldom got to the bombers because the fighter escorts usually took care of them. • (01:02:35) Frank flew fewer than twenty combat/bombing missions. • (01:02:46) Frank flew between twenty and thirty reconnaissance missions. • (01:02:57) The Japanese Navy was active in the area, and the Americans needed to be aware of their position, which was the main reason for the reconnaissance missions. �• (01:03:16) Sometimes, while on reconnaissance, they saw nothing, and other times they saw things they did not expect. • (01:03:39) The second time he was shot down, it was during a reconnaissance mission. • (01:04:44) While on reconnaissance, he saw a great variety of enemy ships, used mostly for transporting supplies. • (01:04:44) Once they flew over a ship that shot back, but that was rare. • (01:05:40) He did not encounter enemy fighters while on reconnaissance missions. • (01:05:18) They had standing orders to bomb a target while on a reconnaissance mission if an opportunity arose. • (01:05:41) Reconnaissance missions were longer-range than combat missions, so they carried fewer bombs to lighten the load. • (01:06:37) The vast majority (80-90%) of the time, the planes flew out of Guadalcanal, and sometimes out of the New Hebrides. • (01:07:14) He was never based farther North than Guadalcanal. • (01:07:27) He remained in the Air Corps until the completion of the War, and then he was put in a training post to train new navigators and pilots. • (01:07:56) He spent less than a year training, and was not made a trainer until later on. Second Plane Crash • (01:09:31) He earned a Purple Heart while in the Air Force. • (01:10:08) During his second crash, he did not buckle his parachute correctly. He landed in the Pacific Ocean. • (01:11:03) He spent a lot of time in the water. • (01:11:26) A B-24 dropped a life raft to him, but they forgot to inflate it so it sunk and he could not find it. • (01:11:56) He still had his life jacket, and he found several closed and floating bottles of oxygen. He tied the oxygen bottles to himself using his shoelaces. The gas-filled bottles helped him stay afloat better. • (01:12:39) The oxygen bottles gradually leaked and filled with water, making them sink. �• (01:13:11) He did not see any other swimmers while in the Pacific. He remained afloat for about two days. • (01:13:45) He thought he could see a highway on a nearby island. • (01:14:00) Frank thought he saw angels, which talked to him. The angles had wings on their back, and on their feet, which they used to skip on the water. • (01:14:55) The angels told Frank that they would not abandon him. • (01:15:21) He saw a door open in the island, and submarine came out of it. • (01:15:59) He had been losing strength, and was thinking about drowning himself, but the angels talked him out of it. • (01:16:35) He doesn’t think there really were angels with him that night he was seeing things due to the shock and exhaustion. • (01:16:46) After seeing the angels, he put his feet down, and touched the ground. • (01:17:22) He heard Japanese cars, but did not see any traffic on the island. • The island was undeveloped at the time, and no highway or cars were present. (01:17:46) • Once he was on shore he immediately slept, as he had no strength left. (01:18:04) • (01:18:46) When he awoke, he was prepared to fight any nearby enemy if need be. • (01:19:04) He had been exhausted because he had not slept at all for the two days he was at sea. He thinks this is also part of the reason he has a hard time remembering the episode. • (01:19:28) After waking up, he ate some plants and shot some fish. • (01:20:08) He also ate roots, and some crabs. • (01:20:34) He had to pull the claws and exoskeleton off the crab to get at the meat. • (01:21:07) He saw some natives in the ocean near the eastern end of the island. The island was Choiseul. • (01:21:38) He went to the natives for help. At first they were unsure what to do with him. Frank thinks they thought he was Japanese because of his sunburned skin. • (01:22:10) Eventually the natives took care of him, and fed him. �• (01:22:27) The natives were very nice people. • (01:22:56) One of the natives was an educated doctor. The natives used grenades to fish. • (01:23:49)They would throw a grenade, which made a large splash when it landed in the water. Fish would then swarm around it to inspect it and it would explode. Dead and stunned fish would then float up to the surface. • (01:24:43) There was a Coast Watch established in the area, which was staffed either by Australians or New Zealanders. • (01:25:23) The Coast Watch eventually found him. • (01:25:36) During peacetime, many members of the Coast Watch were local businessmen and entrepreneurs. During the war they had either refused to evacuate, been unable to evacuate, or had decided to contribute to the war effort. • (01:26:12) The Coast Watch made calls to get him off the island. • (01:27:49) The Coast Watch kept bases deep within the jungle. • (01:28:17) The Coast Watch was in communication with the American Headquarters at Guadalcanal. • (01:29:30) It took awhile for him to get picked up. It was very risky for them to land because of Japanese forces nearby. Additionally, it was a lot of trouble to pick up one man. • (01:30:07) Eventually a seaplane was sent out. • (01:30:23) The natives captured a Japanese prisoner to provide the Americans another incentive to send a plane. • (01:30:52) The natives and the Coast Watch were very well organized. They frequently provided the Americans with intelligence and prisoners. • (01:32:02) Frank thinks the plane was sent mostly for the prisoner. • (01:32:24) The seaplanes were also used to send supplies. • (01:32:36) The seaplane took him to Guadalcanal. • (01:32:52) After being brought back, his combat career in WWII ended and he began training recruits. • (01:33:45) He landed on the Philippines, the war was going well, and he was eligible for re-assignment. �• (01:34:23) When he got back, he met the superintendant Arthur Richter again. They needed a teacher, and so he taught at Frankfort High School. • (01:35:45) He taught from then on. • (01:35:54) He taught at Frankfort for twelve years, and then at Scottsdale. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
