Baggett was a second lieutenant in the United States 7th Bomb Group based at Pandaveswar , in India , during the Second World War . On March 31, 1943 the Squadron aviation squadron was instructed to destroy a bridge at Pyinmana , but before reaching their target the B 24 bombers were attacked by Japanese fighter planes. Baggett s plane was badly hit, and the crew were ordered to bail out. As the B 24 exploded, the Japanese pilots attempted to shoot the US airmen as they parachuted to earth, one plane approaching Baggett within feet, and then, nose up and in an almost stall, the pilot opened his canopy. Baggott claims to have shot the Japanese pilot with his pistol, becoming legendary as the only person to down a Japanese airplane with a .45 handgun . He was later captured by the Japanese, and held for over two years.
