"Great Avenger pic, Sky Chimp. IIRC, that aircraft was flown by a pilot attacking the radio complex on Chichi Jima. He was hit, went into a spin, and had his crew bail out. As he unbuckled and prepared to jump himself, the aircraft reentered stable flight, so he strapped back in and flew it home.
Unfortunately, the aircrew taken prisoner did not survive captivity. Many of the aircrew captives on that island were beheaded and eaten by the Japanese. American liver was regard as a special delicacy by some of the Japanese officers. Some aircrew prisoners were partially dismembered for their thigh flesh, then thrown half-alive into a ditch so that their vital organs would remain fresh for the next evening's repast.
I'm not making this up.

Its the same island where Bush was shot down. I guess the Japs had gotten tired of fish and rice.
