Local Southern DE connection to the film “Unbroken”.
Grandson plays the part of his grandfather, one of the crew of the B-24 Liberator bomber “Superman”.
Louis Zamperini was one of the crew also. It got pretty shot up, but returned to base, through the heroics of the crew. Superman was then laid up for massive repairs.
Then Zamperini was then assigned to a search and rescue mission plane which then went down at sea, and the story unfolds from there.
Interesting footnote—Superman was known as a “lemon”. They patched it up and then it crashed on a trip to Oahu, killing eight out of the 11 crew members.
