This solo aircraft raid, flown at just 75 feet of altitude at times, was vital in crippling the Japanese oil supply in the Southwest Pacific. This attack on the Borneo refinery was caught in stunning archive footage, which we analyze and dissect during this video. For the first time, the story of this mission will be told in stunning detail and excellent recreations! Only at TJ3 History.
