Frontiers of Flight Museum will offer free admission for veterans, sponsored by Rogge and Cathy DeWitt Dunn, on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  The Museum, located at 6911 Lemmon Ave., is extending this special offer to vets in honor of Veterans Day. Visit www.flightmuseum.com.

Museum guests will also have an opportunity to view the educational entertaining epic documentary film “4-4-43,” presented by Director John Lukacs. The documentary showing will also be held on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m. followed by a Q&A with Mr. Lukacs, writer, historian and filmmaker.

“4-4-43” is a quintessential American tale of fate, faith, sacrifice, heroism, teamwork and inspirational triumph over long odds. It is one of the most significant POW stories in American history, and most certainly the “Greatest Story of the War in the Pacific.” 

On April 4, 1943, ten American prisoners-of-war and two Filipino convicts broke out of an escape-proof Imperial Japanese Army prison plantation in the Philippines. The secret that they carried out with them would shock the world. This was recognized as the “Greatest Story of the War in the Pacific” by the U.S. War Department in 1944. The account of this escape and the atrocities these men experienced at the hands of their fanatic captors is a story that has been lost to history. Now the entire uncensored true story has been brought to the screen.
