Plane buzzing camp
I saw a documentary recently about this operation-one of the people interviewed was Robert Prince himself-it was very good. They also interviewed some of the prisoners who were there at that time.
The plane that buzzed the camp during the movie was a Lockheed Ventura. It always seemed strange to me that the plane used was a Ventura-somehow it seemed out of place.
During the documentary the prisoners and soldiers talked of the plane that buzzed the camp-it was actually a P-61 Black Widow. The Ventura was used for night fighting(and a number of other missions)too like the P-61 but I don't think there were any squadrons that served in the Phillipines.
The documentary was well done and to me brought out more clearly the danger of this mission than the movie. This was a suicide mission that was almost perfectly executed by the Rangers and the tough Filipinos-magnificent.
