John Dunning (1918 – March 1990) was a journalist and true crime author. Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, his father disappeared and his mother Chrystal was left to bring him up alone. Needing to work, she gave him to the couple who had brought her up as an orphan. They were "dirt farmers" in Michigan and were in their 60's when they took her son. ==Navy career==
Dunning joined the US Navy in San Diego at the age of 16, his foster parents having died. He served in the Asian and Pacific fleets and spent time in the merchant navy before settling in Shanghai, where he married a Chinese woman. There he became a Lieutenant of police in the British sector of the city (at that time divided between the USA, France, Britain and Japan). When the Japanese invaded China and Shanghai he remained in his post as a non-combatant until 1941 when the USA entered the war. He was then interned in Lunghua prison camp where he became the representative of the prison population. He spent four years as a Prisoner of War.〔Dunning, J., ''Strange Deaths'' (1981), London, Arrow Books, ISBN 0 09 941660 3.〕 After the Japanese surrender he received the sword of the camp commandant. He worked for the US intelligence agency OSS. He met his second wife, Elizaveta Maximovna Smoleff, in another prison camp. They were married in the Russian Orthodox church in Shanghai in 1946.
