Bogeys! Eleven O'Clock High, 1993:
On April 13, 1943, 16 Lockheed P-38 Lightnings of the US Army Air Forces' 339th Fighter Squadron took off from Guadalcanal to intercept a bomber carrying the commander of the Imperial Japanese Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who had planned the Pearl Harbor attack. The P-38s intercepted the bomber over the island of Bougainville and shot it down. Everyone aboard died. |
