Unbroken Page #2

Below him, as he’s kneeling he sees Zeros through the open

bomb bay doors. More bullets pierce the plane. Bullets fly

from the plane. We see the Belly Gunner in the suspended

bubble in a fire fight with a Zero.

Bullets pierce the bubble.

Louie grabs the medical bag and climbs across the catwalk to

get to the Belly Gunner.

More gunfire. Harry fires laterally. BOOM!— a cannon round

strikes nearby and the concussion slams his head against the

wall. His goggles shatter.

He reaches up to take off the goggles. Bullets from his

target plane stitch him up. Harry’s down. (end slow motion)

Louie races toward him, pulling him away from his station to

the opposite wall.

As he stabilizes Harry and administers morphine, Louie

notices Mac at the tail gun shooting down a Zero. He also

sees Douglass-- leg shot and bloody but he stands strong and

shoots back.

Louie straps Harry down and makes his way back to the front

of the plane.

BAM!— a very big explosion— a hole rips open in the side of

the plane.

Cockpit:
Phil struggles to right the plane. 7

Plane:
Stanley recovers his target and fires.

Bullets streak through the Superman from every direction.

Sea and sky are now visible throughout the plane-- gashes

everywhere. Bullets fly. Each moment the holes multiply.

Louie looks up.

Stanley, in the top bubble, looks intently out, hands tensed

on guns, ready for a target to appear. One of his legs is

shredded.

He keeps shooting, not missing a beat.

In the rectangle of exterior view a Zero enters from aft,

climbing.

Pillsbury bangs the high speed rotator of his turret. The

turret grunts to life, whirling Pillsbury around ninety

degrees. The Zero reaches the top of it’s arc, leveling off

and speeds directly towards Superman.

Pillsbury can see the pilot who could end his life. Pillsbury

sucks in a sharp breath and fires. He watches the tracers

skim away from his guns muzzle and punch through the cockpit

of the Zero. The windshield blows apart and the pilot pitches

forward. The Zero folds onto itself like a wounded bird.

All quiet, except for wind whistling through all the

different-sized holes punched all over our aircraft.

Suddenly, the last Zero comes up from below, the sound of gun

fire, and the Zero falters and falls. Clarence Douglas,

standing at the waist gun with his thigh, chest, and shoulder

torn open, brings it down.

Louie looks down.

Through the slit of the bay doors, not yet fully closed, the

Zero spiraling away.

Louie enters.

LOUIE:

Everyone’s shot up. Not sure

Harry’s gonna make it.
