I've just finished reading the book to the film, as usual, though the film
is quite excellent, i enjoyed the book a bit more, you find that there are
things in the book that may not be in the film, and one or two of the parts
of a film may be "holywood'ised!".
Great film, and very interesting.

I was watching "Empire of the Sun" the other night and near the end some
P-51's attack the Japanese base. What struck me was that the P-51's were
flying in just a few feet above the ground and dropping their bombs.
Would
this really have been done? How did the planes keep from blowing
themselves
up?
