Although I am not related, I am looking for kin of
Capt. John Steven Maniatty who was with USAF (C 47) in Korea. He was born on April 9 1922 and was Missing in Action in Korea on April 30 1951. We understand that his remains were never recovered. He was said to be from Flushing (
Queens County) NY. Kin need to be located and put in touch with the Missing
Persons Office of the appropriate military authorities who generally keep the kin informed as to their progress in finding information on those that were missing. Anyone knowing of
the names and addresses of the kin are asked to contact the undersigned. Kin could call USAF MSGT
Fishback or his successor at 1 800 531 5501. When calling Msgt
Fishback give him your name and address, the name of the casualty and your relationship to the casualty and other identifying information about the casualty and ask
for information on the family update program and incident reports. Kin could also contact the undersigned. If Msgt. Fishback is called please let me know so that our
search may be discontinued. Anyone interested in learning more about the MIAs and the need for DNA typing may visit the Korean War Project web site which is at
www.koreanwar.org Date: Sept 18 2001.
