| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "On April 4, 1943, ten american prisoners-of-war and two filipino convicts broke out of the Davao Penal Colony, an escape-proof imperial japanese army prison plantation in the Philippines. Te story that they carried out with them shocked the world. Called "The greatest story of the war in the Pacific" by the U.S. War Department, this astonishing, yet true action adventure tale is told through the eyes of Lt. Col. William Edwin Dyess, one of the world war II's most extraordinary, yet little-known heroes. Known as the " One-man scourge of the Japanese,'' the dashing fighter pilot from Texas dueled with enemy planes in Aerial combat, led America's first amphibious landing of the war , survived the infamous Bataan Death March and nearly a year of hellish torture, disease, starvation and slave labor in enemy captivity to help lead the only large-scale POW escape of the Pacific war and later, a top secret fight against the U.S. Government to break the news of Japanese Atrocities to the world-all before his tragic death in a plane crash at the age of 27."
