He might not be in most history books, nor is he personally commemorated with statues. But Lieutenant (JG) Francis Register, also known as “Pinky”, was one of the true unsung
heros of World War II.
The pilot, a recipient of a Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, and a Purple Heart,
played an important role in protecting bases from Japanese airstrikes during the Second
World War.
For the first time, the story of this real American hero is being shared with the world,
backed by firsthand sources including diary excerpts, memories of his surviving brother
Bill, and 1940s media interviews.
