As I recollect, the P3 was “forced” to land in China. Wonder what the Admirals were screaming at that pilot? Back then I know what my life was worth should it have been in a similar situation. Our guards were there to make sure our equipment and us were never to fall into enemy hands.
“As I recollect, the P3 was “forced” to land in China.”
There was a collision, and the crew had the option of either ditching the plane or landing it in enemy territory. They chose the latter. I figure the reason was due to the women screeching on the plane, so one might say, the women forced it down.
