The Airmen and the Headhunters: A True Story of Lost Soldiers, Heroic Tribesmen and the Unlikeliest Rescue of World War II by Judith M. Heimann
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is an amazing, tropical WWII tale of resolve and privation. Crashed airmen taken in my headhunters who assault Japanese Imperial troopers. The harsh land of Borneo gives birth to a bamboo airstrip, ninja-like survival skills, a repaired Oster plane, and a platoon of armed natives. The hard-to-believe story reads like an adventure tale, but is carefully researched from primary sources.
