Three Bronx-born sisters are returning to the borough to discuss their journey to a remote South Pacific island where their uncle was imprisoned by the Japanese and killed at the end of World War II.

Andrea Talbutt of Rockland County, Susan Nishihira of Seattle and Marcy Hanigan of Los Angeles will be speaking Wednesday night at the Huntington Free Library about last year’s trip to the island where their uncle spent the last months of his life as a POW.

Marine fighter pilot Moszek “Mike” Zanger of the Bronx bailed out of his damaged plane in December 1944, was taken prisoner and killed by his captors in 1945. The sisters visited the jungle crash site and identified wreckage with the help of Justin Taylan of Hyde Park, founder of the Pacific Wrecks website.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is returning to television.

Six months after making a cameo on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” McCain will appear the season premiere of National Geographic Channel’s “Locked Up Abroad” on April 17.

In an advance clip made available to Politico, McCain attests to the “amazing story of heroism” that will be showcased. PR Newswire explains that the show is set to focus on the story of McCain’s friendship with Ernie Brace, which developed during their time as prisoners of war during the Vietnam conflict. McCain, who was held as a POW for five years, was held captive in an adjacent cell to Brace, who was the longest held prisoner of war at nearly eight years.
