1181 Frederick Richard Wollenberg US Navy USS Boise (d.5th Aug 1942) Frederick Richard Wollenberg known as Freddie was a pilot based on the Boise. He was reported missing-in-action since 5th of August 1942 near the coast of Japan. I have been trying to find details of the operation that led to his being lost. To date, all I have found is that the Boise was in Japanese waters drawing attention away from the Guadalcanal landings. I would like to find information on the type(s) of planes he flew, the nature of his last mission, and any other information about Wollenberg aboard the Boise as well as events occurring during the feint into Japanese waters, August, 1942.
