https://sharkhunters.com/ brings you the story of Lt. “Hap” Halloran, crewmember of the B-29 bomber known as the “Rover Boys Express”. You older folks will remember that the Rover Boys was a series of adventure books for young men and this bomber was named for one.
They were shot down over Japan and “Hap” was taken prisoner. He talks about bombing strategy and the operations, but he also speaks in depth about the brutal experiences in the P.o.W. camp. It was indeed brutal – beatings with rifle butts, refusal to let the prisoners use toilets and more atrocities by the guards.
