The title card, not surprisingly, had the wrong area for this—this is one of the hills of Mt. Malarayat/Malipunyo in Batangas/Quezon, the Angels' territory after the Battle of Manila. The paratroopers mentioned being supported here—A, B and C companies of the 511th PIR—were the same companies that executed the Raid on Los Banos. The 11th's HQ in Batangas was in Lipa; A, B & C spent a lot of time in Bauan and Batangas city proper.
A-20G had .50cals in the nose only the russians tried the 20mm option. FYI. Looked up on Wiki and saw the same info anout the 20mm but everything else ive read and seen say only .50cals
What A-20 unit was this? 312th BG?

Great vid. This is exactly the kind of stuff I want to see. There's hardly any combat footage like this for the A20, A26, or B26s.

A-20 bombers, 4 20mm nose guns, 300mph, great ground attack aircraft. FAC seems to really be on the ball.

U.S. put 6 .50's on the nose
VVS left some with the 6 .50's, and some with the 4 ShVAK 20 mm cannon's.
