I was watching Turner Classic Movies the other day, and in the 1942 movie Bombardier with Pat O'Brian and Randolph Scott, they take part in a raid on Tokyo. I guess it follows the Doolittle Raiders story. Well as the story goes, nearing the final scenes, Randolph Scott's B-17 that is leading the attack ahead of the main force is shot down and he along with his crew are taken prisoner. The Japaneese officer pulls out what looks like a luger and threatens to shoot him. Randy does die a hero.
