A documentary and a book in Chinese recounting the exploits of a US fighter pilot who parachuted to safety in Hong Kong after shooting down a Japanese warplane during World War II will ensure that his heroic deeds are not lost to posterity.

The documentary film and book, released on Friday, are based on the true story of Lieutenant Donald W. Kerr, who served in the US army's 14th Air Force - partly formed from the remnants of the legendary "Flying Tigers" squadron.

He was rescued by local people after he jumped out of his P-40 fighter plane on Feb 11, 1944, when Japan's military controlled a large area of China.

"My father would be so happy that we are here to celebrate the launch of this documentary and book," said David C. Kerr, the elder Kerr's second son, at a launching ceremony held in Beijing.

"He took great pride to serve in the Chinese-American Composite Wing of the United States 14th Air Force. Every day, American and Chinese pilots and ground crews would fight together against our common enemy.

"In Hong Kong, he discovered even more of the spirit of China. Villagers and the Hong Kong-Kowloon Independent Brigade of the East River Column took great risks leading my father to safety - hiding him for several weeks and moving him by night across land and sea."

In 1944, the Chinese that fought alongside the pilot all worked together to bring him to safety, the younger Kerr said, adding that in the 21st century, many more people have worked together further to support the documentary so that the story of cooperation in 1944 will be known to future generations.

Kerr's plane was among 20 P-40 fighter planes and 12 bomber aircraft whose mission was to bomb Hong Kong's Kai-Tak Airport, which had become a Japanese air base after the city fell on Dec 25, 1941.

After he shot down a Japanese plane, three enemy planes attacked. Kerr's aircraft was hit and caught fire near the airport.

As he later wrote in his memoir, "pictures flashed through my mind like that of a drowning man".
