Biography[]
Mizeraney was born in 1912 in Chicago, Illinois. In 1932, he joined the US Army. On 13 December 1941, at the evening General Warren Maddox sent him from Barstow to Los Angeles to deliver a message to General Joseph W. Stilwell about a Japanese invasion from a secret aerodrome in Pomona. Stillwell concerned about Maddox paranoia sent that night Captain Loomis Birkhead and Donna Stratton to Barstow where they caught a plane and caused The Battle of Los Angeles. Mizeraney stayed there and he joined Stillwell watching the movie Dumbo at the cinema. Moments later, American pilot Wild Bill Kelso, who has crash landed his plane on the street informed Stillwell about he destroyed a Japanese plane and that he saw a Submarine at the Ocean. Then Kelso stole Mizeraney's motorcycle, which he ended crashing at the Ocean when he jumped off the pier.
