The Move "Tora Tora Tora the man who is firing this machine gun during the movie. Is a depiction of actual events that happened. The real man is named Howard and he is from the Newwark New Jersey area. About 5.5 inches tall. After Pearl Harbor attack. Howard was a sheet metal mechanic on the NAVY PBY Catalina flying boats. After the attack Howard was going around the south Pacific while the Aircraft went out at night and attack the Japanese at night. All day long fixing bullet holes with a hand powered drill. He taught me Sheet metal work. At Carter Aircraft at the Sebring Airport Sebring FL. After 20 years working for TWA retired then worked 20 years at Pan Am. He worked for cash money so his wife couldn't touch it. OH and the guy who was shooting at the Aircraft in the movie? I was shooting at those exact same Airplanes from our Navy base housing. I was using my plastic Belt fed Machine gun mounted on my ARMY pedal car. The police had to drive through the houses telling people to STOP shooting at the Airplanes. THEY WERE FILMING A MOVIE.
