Some great interviews with 39th FS Pilots Charles O'Sullivan and Lewis Lockhart etc
It is all about Sullys adventure after force landing his P-38H in New Guinea
As all maybe aware Sully's P-38 "Maralee II" is still sitting in its WW2 resting place. Though it has been stated Fred Hagen and Jungle Bob/Rob Greinert recovered it
See footage below of Fred Hagen's trek to this P-38

Just of interest is the footage of the MIA P-47 recovered by Jungle Bob/Rob Greinert and Fred Hagen
The Pilot is still classed as MIA

Thanks, "Lightning," for posting the link to Fred Hagen's video of Sully's P-38. I had not seen the video...although I HAVE seen "Mareelle II" in New Guinea! I am the producer of Injury Slight...Please Advise, and I came across these posts while looking for an article online about Charles O'Sullivan. He spoke to a group of school kids yesterday for a special Veteran's Day event. He's still going strong at 95 years old!

During production on the film, we traveled to New Guinea to photograph the P-38 wreckage. We also captured a very detailed interview with a native elder near Brahmin, the mission point Hagen mentions in his brief video. Unfortunately, the river was a little deeper than it is in Hagen's video, so we were not able to browse around the wreck quite as much. Not to mention that we went in on the ground - no helicopter - and were only able to spend a few minutes with the P-38 before making the return trip back to Brahmin - 7 miles through the jungle. There is an article about our trek: http://injuryslight.com/exploringhistory.html.

We did build a detailed mock up of the P-38 for the film. There are a few photos on our website, and some behind-the-scenes footage of its construction that is on the DVD. The mock-up is 1:1 scale, and is currently on display at the Museum of Military History in Jacksonville, Arkansas.

Please tell your friends about the film - available next month on DVD, but we're taking orders now!
