Excellen Historical Account,

This review is from: Airmen and the Headhunters (DVD)
Its a little hard to keep track of the town names and the local characters, but it is very interesting reading, particularly because it is a true story; it is not fiction. It gives some insight into the enormous sacrifices made by our young men in WWII. We owe so much them.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Airmen and the Headhunters (DVD)
I read the book (same title) by Judith M. Heimann just prior to watching this. While the video is a condensed recounting of this facinating story, it provides a lot more visual representation and first-person interviews. These additional elements provide a lot more immediacy that the book simply can't deliver. If you're a history buff, you'll definitely enjoy this. It is also enlightening and entertaining if you've never examined any of the events of this era that occurred in the Pacific Theater area of WW2. I recommend buying both the video and the book.Video: Airmen and the Headhunters Book: The Airmen and the Headhunters: A True Story of Lost Soldiers, Heroic Tribesmen and the Unlikeliest Rescue of World War II

A Great Look At An Unknown Piece of History,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Airmen and the Headhunters (DVD)
Anyone who at least occasionally watches the PBS series, "Secrets of The Dead", will love this episode. Without giving too much away, the "Airmen and the Headhunters" recounts the adventures of US Air Force pilots during WWII. The pilots are shot down and land in Borneo where they develop a seemingly unlikely alliance with natives who help to defend the airmen against Japanese troops. This documentary reveals how natives were able to use their wits, ancient weapons, and traditions to deal with armed Japanese soldiers. Unbelievable but true!
This is what makes this episode of "Secrets of The Dead" so special. This episode is guaranteed to make any viewer interested (really). Highly recommended.
