The book “Flyboys”depicts a distant relative of mine being captured and executed in a prison camp. The camp commander ate his liver.

George H.W. Bush was shot down attacking the same island. He landed far enough off shore he was picked up by a Navy submarine. Had he been taken by the Japanese, he would have been murdered too.

I have that book. Pretty ugly stuff.
I really feel for any American who fell into Japanese hands. The Japanese considered themselves superior to all others but were the most bestial “civilized” people on the face of the earth.
