Eugene E. Wing : ウィキペディア英語版
Eugene E. Wing

Commodore Eugene E. Wing (1844−1944) was the Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club when the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941, he sailed the Japanese blockade of Corregidor and was captured and executed with author Hugo Herman Miller for being attached to the Visayan Guerrilla Resistance on Leyte Island. Neither Wing nor Miller were duly honored by the U.S. Government for giving their lives behind enemy lines.
==Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club==
Eugene Wing was the second Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club following the tenure of James C. Rockwell. According to the Yacht Club 50th anniversary history, Wing's tenure was 1940−1942, though the Club disbanded with the invasion of enemy forces in December 1941.〔Capotosto, Albert. ''The Manila Yacht Club: 1927-1977''〕 On 28 December 1941, the club was officially dissolved, and members hastened to collect anything which might be of value to the advancing enemy, including the fine wines and distilled spirits remaining at the Club bar. Wing and Miller were preparing to sail for Corregidor aboard Wing's schooner the "Hope Wing," named for his daughter, Hope, when an enemy bomber squadron appeared overhead and began making runs on Pier 7.〔 Later that day a platoon of USAFFE troops arrived with orders to destroy the remaining boats to deny them to the enemy in anticipation of the assault on Fort Mills, Corregidor. The fine boats were drenched with gasoline and set ablaze. The remaining club members toasted their demise with stiff straight whisky, no ice. There was no ice.〔
