- Bill Diebold, the father of former Phillips resident Penelope Diebold, wrote “Hell is So Green,” an account of his search and rescue operations of downed fliers in Burma during WWII. The book was edited and published by Phillips writer Richard Matthews. Matthews also wrote an introduction and afterword for the book. This drawing show Lt.
