Bob
Rohlfing, Pilot - 2nd Lt. Hugh Pennington, Pilot (Note: Lieutenant Boggs died
in New Guinea [headstone] from a fungal infection
- "tropical fever" that the men callded the "Crud." It's
similar to athlete's foot but much more severe in a jungle environment.
There is no official record in the history of his death in the squadron
history.)
