The chief who organised the rescue of the Black Jack crew was my uncle, chief Paul Mogina and the man who recounted the story in the blackjack video was my father Cephas Mogina. The beaitiful village of Bogaboga is rapidly being eroded and washed away by sea level rise. Thank you for the beautiful story and how you portrayed my village.

My uncle was Joseph Hart Moore, the co-pilot. I knew the story pretty well from his accounts of it over the years, although his retelling was less eloquent. He finshed the war as Major and received the Purple Heart and Silver Star medals. The one thing I remember from his recounting the story is that for a few days after the ditching he only had bananas to eat, and he never ate another banana in his life after that. He passed away in 1994. I'm proud of him and his service to his country, and if I ever take up diving (unlikely at 57) I'll try to make my way to the wreck. Thanks for the great story!
