Eugene E. Wing

Commodore Eugene E. Wing (1883–1944) was the Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club when the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941, he sailed the Japanese blockade of Corregidor and was captured and executed with author Hugo Herman Miller for being attached to the Visayan Guerrilla Resistance on Leyte Island.

Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club Eugene Wing was the second Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club following the tenure of James C. Rockwell. According to the Yacht Club 50th anniversary history, Wing's tenure was 1940–1942, though the Club disbanded with the invasion of enemy forces in December 1941. On 28 December 1941, the club was officially dissolved, and members hastened to collect anything which might be of value to the advancing enemy, including the fine wines and distilled spirits remaining at the Club bar. Wing and Miller were preparing to sail for Corregidor aboard Wing's schooner the "Hope Wing," named for his daughter, Hope, when an enemy bomber squadron appeared overhead and began making runs on Pier 7. Eugene Wing was the only Marsman executive known to be present on Corregidor. Together Lee and Wing planned to sail the Japanese blockade and pored over navigational charts and worked in concert to gain a nautical compass from the Yusang and oil drums from the Army engineers.
