P-38 Update Wreck Site Footage Added to Documentary

“Injury Slight…please advise” is the filmed reenactment of a W.W.II  P-38 fighter pilot’s incredible survival story after being shot up and crash landing in the wilds of New Guinea .  A recent Go Remote, Inc. effort returned from a three week adventure that included a 14 hour jungle hike with native guides to reach the Remote crash site in the wilds of New Guinea.

We filmed the aircraft crash-landing site after it was rediscovered a few years ago in order to include the P-38 twin engine fighter wreck footage with this historic production of actor segments that had already been completed in the jungle setting of Honduras.  The eerie jungle footage of the wrecked P-38, still in remarkable condition, will add to the film’s documentation of the amazing W.W.II account to be released at the Hot Springs, Arkansas film festival in October.  Film Festival pilot photos and update on News & Views page. In addition, we filmed the elderly native account of the pilot killing the village chief with a .45 to avoid being turned over to the Japanese (and likely execution) as it was told and translated, from the detailed account of a village elder who was a boy at the time. 

The planning and difficulty of our efforts and adventures in reaching the jungle/swamp site pale in comparison to the account of this fighter pilot’s escape and 28 day jungle survival – after leaving his boots behind. 

The title of “Injury Slight” was selected from the text of the pilots first brief radio message “home” after reaching the Australian outpost… The film is a remarkable, but accurate, account of WWII pilot who survived to later become an ace.
