b-24 loss off Singapore
According to the book "The Knights of Bushido" In mid July 1945 an American B-24 Bomber was shot down off Singapore by the IJN Destroyer Kamikaze and the Toshio maru while they were minesweeping. Seven of the crew were saved by these two ships. The prisoners were taken to the Seletar naval base where on 4 or 5 August 1945 they were beheaded by the 10th Special naval base Unit. Does anyone know the unit and number of the plane? I don't know if it was USAAF or USN. Uniform description pilot an officer wore overalls with wings sewn above the brest pocket the rest of the crew wore fatigues. Thanks in advance
