Posted at our friends at SimHQ. Going to have to check this out:
My great uncle served as a Filipino fighter pilot during WWII but got shot down and captured. He survived the Bataan Death March and lived on to fly for PAL and test pilot. He was killed in an experimental ultralight crash in the late 80s.

I may have to check this out. With the massive number of WWII films I've seen in my life I have yet to see one from the Filipino perspective.

Me too!
From a Polish perspective, I recommend "The Secret of Westerplatte" which tells the story of the Polish Army having to face the Germans on the first day of WWII, Sept 1, 1939

I'll have to check that one out Bones. On a related note, I find quite intriguing that the great majority of people I've spoken to about WWII had no clue that the USSR also invaded Poland 2 weeks after the Germans invaded and that Germany and the USSR divided up Poland between them.
