Bridge to the Sun / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The Doolittle Raid (and it's definitely the Doolittle Raid, Ted Lawson's Ruptured Duck bomber is seen) is said to take place some ten months after the outbreak of hostilities, after Japan has suffered some devastating defeats. At the time of the real raid, in April 1942, only five months had elapsed since Pearl Harbor and Japan hadn't suffered any defeats. Also, the damage inflicted by the Doolittle Raid is rather exaggerated. | |

Bridge to the Sun / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: Broadly faithful to the memoir of the Real Life Gwen Terasaki. In real life their post-war history wasn't so dramatic. Terry served as a translator to Emperor Hirohito for a while. Gwen and Mako went back to America in 1949 when it was time for Mako to go to college. The Korean War interfered with Gwen's return to Japan, and then Terry died in 1951. | |
