HONG KONG, May 2 (Xinhua) An American fighter pilot was downed in the territory of enemy control. A boy hid him in a foxhole and found local guerrillas for help. On a dark night, they decided to break the blockade by 1,000 enemy soldiers.
The episode, which sounds like some fictional story, was actually the true experience of Flying Tiger Lieutenant Donald W. Kerr in Hong Kong during World War II.
