Martin Caidin novel question
YEARS ago--hell, DECADES ago, I read a few WW2 novels by Martin Caidin (yeah, I know) but there was an incident in one that I have wondered if it was inspired by real life events. It was 'Whip' (I think) about a squadron of early B25 gunship in New Guinea. In one of the sequences, the squadron is attempting to land in a 'secret airfield behind enemy lines', but the first aircraft is ambushed and destroyed by Japanese infantrymen.
So then, given how fluid and unpredictable New Guinea's landscape and weather could be, did an allied aircraft ever get attacked on the ground by Japanese infantry? Thanks, ahead of time. NM
