Wartime History
On May 19, 1942 several American prisoners from the POW compound near Malaybalay Lt. Charley Sneed, Winston Glover (?) and another pilot flew two P-40s and a Stearman biplane 76D3 from Maramag Airfield where they were captured to Malaybalay Airfield. On the ground, one of the P-40s with "Shark Mouth" markings was photographed by the Japanese. The three planes were then flown to Davao Airfield, with the American POWs flying the P-40s and Japanese pilot Ushijima flying the Stearman.
