Paratroop drop on Corrigidor, Feb. 1945

I am trying to find out if an old high school mate of mine(died in 1982) might have participated in that drop. He was a C-47 pilot who did take part in the drop on Ste Maire Eglise on D-Day in France. Altho he didn't discuss his war-time duty with the family, his son remembers that he had mentioned both France and the Phillipines. I'm wondering if he might possibly have been sent to the S.W.P.A. after things folded up in Germany. His name was Jean R. Kroeger. Would appreciate, very much, any help I can get on this. If he did particapte in the Corrigidor drop, I have photos of that operation that I know the family would dearly lvoe to have copies of.

Thanx Jim;
The first one didn't work, I have bookmarked the other two and will check them out. I'm not having much luck with my search, but will keep trying.
