Re: Japanese aircrew bailouts, prisoners?
For the up close and personal side of the story, this is probably the preeminent account of it all:
WAR WITHOUT MERCY: RACE AND POWER IN THE PACIFIC WAR by John W. Dower. New York: Pantheon Books, 1986, xii, 399 pp., illustrated, $22.50, ISBN 0-394-50030-X. It's still the benchmark after 27 years. You can find many reviews of the book online. Prof. Dower covers the American attitude towards the Japanese enemy and the "take no prisoners" behavior of most of our guys who fought in the Pacific. Many documented examples. L.
