From the Pacific Wrecks.com 1995-2010 site.
The story of Jose L. Holguin, the "Naughty but Nice's" only survivor is interesting as well.
He was the only one able to bail out and suffered a broken jaw and a back injury when he landed. He crawled without food or medical attention for weeks until he was discovered by local villagers.
They were unable to treat his injuries and turned him over to the Japanese on July 17th. He received no treatment from them, but an infamous Japanese doctor did experiment on him. At one point, the doctor injected him with malaria to study the effects.
Holguin returned to the crash site in both 1981 and 1983.
