03:01:32 Lt. Quinn interviewed by American about his confession & asked he wants to make a statement. “I never have considered what I did up there as a confession; because I don’t see how a person can confess something he has never done.” “They put three people to getting my confession. They gave most of my statements to me...quite a bit I added myself...a loaded B-26 couldn’t fly at 110 mph...they took out that.”
03:04:00 Asked about his confession & Quinn talks about his coercion & fearing for his pregnant wife. Talks about General Wong telling him he had two things to worry about: what would happen when he got home & what would happen if he didn’t confess, or play ball with them.
03:06:1? Asked to describe threats, brides, etc. Tells about being kept awake; couldn’t sleep & very tense.

03:09:0? Did you participate in any bomb raids that could be considered Germ warfare? Absolutely not...
03:10:39 Quinn: “I am 100% behind this fight against this mili-propaganda that the Chinese have stirred up...” “I know they took out many things I had said (which would show it wasn’t a true confession).” Goes on to say only thing he wants to do is to make people aware that he did not actually confess.
