    This dollar bill belonged to a B-24 waist gunner interned by the Russians when his aircraft landed at Petropavlovsk on September 12, 1943, following an attack on the Kurile Islands. I am hoping members of the forum can help with the Russian writing on the front and back of the bill. In some instances, I have enhanced the colors to make the writing more defined.

    I do not know if the Russian writing is place name or possibly proper names. Information on the American aircrews held by the Russians indicates they were moved about and so these could be locations noted on the bill.

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    We have someone here who reads and understands Russian very well. If you do not hear from him soon, let me know and I will contact him directly.
