This is my first post in the forums.
The following 4 page document is just one piece of a much larger collection (Pictures & Papers) that belonged to Joe Hogan and Intelligence Office in the RAAF and now belongs to his Grandson Michael, a friend of mine. I have offered to scan the collection and share the collection so that others may enjoy the content.
I only read this for the first time yesterday as I scanned it and found it an amazing story that could easily have been the basis of a movie or book. And sure enough, after a google search, I found several links and a reference on Pacific Wrecks.
The first sentence says its all....
"The following report of remarkable escape of F/O R.A. GRAETZ shot down near BUT 20 May 44 has been made available by 71 Wing RAAF"
