The Airmen and the HeadHunters
Fishnutt,
Daniel Illerich is my step father, the tale is amazing and the heroic Dyaks who made the decision to hide these Americans from the Japs was even more amazing.
You guys should see the items Dan brought back from Borneo, a blow gun spear tipped, blow darts tipped with curare' and a REAL Jap samauri sword taken from a Jap killed by the Dyaks.
I am very glad that you enjoyed the documentary, get the book from Amazon and read the entire story.
They left out the part about the borrowed B-24 Liberator with the wrong parachute harness's.....yep, the B-24 they were shot down in had the wrong harness's and the had to taxi back and get theirs out of their plane which was being repaired.
