Washington, D.C.<\/h2><p>We\u2019re in the middle of a movie montage.<\/p><p>Newspaper headlines are crossing the screen.<\/p><p>One headline is dated Saturday, April 15th and says, \u201cPresident Lincoln Murdered\u201d and the \u201cNation in shock.\u201d<\/p><p>Another shows photographs of three men and says there\u2019s a $100,000 reward for the murderer. That paper is dated April 20th, 1865. The next paper is hard to see the date on, but it mentions Stanton orders troops to close down Washington, D.C.<\/p><p>Then, we see soldiers arresting a man hiding in a building. In another shot, they\u2019re arresting someone on a train. Another man is arrested while he\u2019s sleeping. Then, we see them arresting some women and putting them in the back of a barred wagon. The newspaper that floats above this screen tells us the \u201cSurratt Boarding House Raided.\u201d<\/p><h2>The true story behind this week\u2019s event depicted in the movie <em>The Conspirator<\/em><\/h2><p>If you remember from last week\u2019s edition of Based on a True Story, John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln at Ford\u2019s Theatre in the Washington, D.C. on the evening of April 14<sup>th<\/sup>, 1865. This is a continuation of that storyline as it\u2019s shown in the 2010 movie <em>The Conspirator<\/em>, and although it doesn\u2019t focus too much on the dates between the April 15th and April 20th newspaper headlines that we see, it was this week in history on April 17th, 1865, that Mary Surratt was arrested as a conspirator in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.<\/p><p>Because we only see a montage of newspapers, we don\u2019t see much of the actual event.<\/p><p>What happened was that Mary\u2019s oldest son, John, was a known associate to many former Confederates during the Civil War who were now suspected in the assassination conspiracy: David Herold, Lewis Powell and John Wilkes Booth, to name a few.<\/p><p>So, on the evening of April 17th, investigators were at Surratt\u2019s home in D.C. to interview her about the assassination. While they were there, Lewis Powell happened to show up, knocking on the door. He was carrying a pick-axe, which seemed rather suspicious.<\/p><p>When asked about it, Powell told the investigators he had been hired by Mary Surratt to dig a gutter. When they asked Mary to confirm this, she said she didn\u2019t know who he was and she certainly didn\u2019t hire him to dig a gutter.<\/p><p>That, coupled with some evidence that included a photo of John Wilkes Booth, was enough for the investigators to arrest Mary Surratt. Some other conspirators were arrested this week in history, too, with Samuel Arnold also being arrested on April 17th, although some others weren\u2019t caught until next week, like John Wilkes Booth and David Herold were found in a barn on April 26th.<\/p><p>But if you want to watch the arrests and subsequent trial of Mary Surratt, the montage starts at about 14 minutes into the 2010 movie called <em>The Conspirator<\/em>.<\/p><p>And if you want to learn more about the true story, we covered that on episode #175 of Based on a True Story.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>April 18th, 1942. Tokyo.<\/h2><p>The camera pans up from the water to the aircraft carrier.<\/p><p>On the deck are a bunch of airplanes waiting to take off. But, these aren\u2019t the kind of airplanes you\u2019d expect to see on an aircraft carrier. They\u2019re B-25s: Bombers. Inside the carrier, the radar operator calls out a warning. Japanese patrol boats are only 400 yards away and closing! The captain gives the order to go to general quarters. They have to sink the Japanese before they give away the Americans\u2019 position.<\/p><p>A klaxon alarm goes off as sailors run this way and that on the ship.<\/p><p>One of the men inside the bridge says they were supposed to launch 400 miles away, how far are we now? 624 miles is the reply.<\/p><p>With the new numbers, one of the men starts doing a quick calculation. Then, he looks up at Alec Baldwin\u2019s version of Colonel Jimmy Doolittle. \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he tells Doolittle. He says he just doesn\u2019t know if the planes can carry enough fuel to make it to China.<\/p><p>A moment later, Doolittle makes his decision: Now. We launch now!<\/p><p>In the next shot, we see a flurry of men. Doolittle orders the planes to be stripped of anything unnecessary to make room for fuel. It\u2019s a fine balance of having enough fuel to make up the extra miles, but not so much that the planes will be too heavy to get off the carrier.<\/p><p>More gas is added to each plane as guns are removed to lighten up the planes.<\/p><p>The two pilots the movie focuses on mostly are Ben Affleck\u2019s character, Rafe McCawley and Josh Hartnett\u2019s character, Danny Walker. Then, of course, there\u2019s Colonel Doolittle, who is also flying one of the planes.<\/p><p>One by one, the B-25s start taking off. There were a few close calls, but everyone gets away okay. As the last two take off, we can see in a single shot there are 16 B-25s in the skies now.<\/p><p>The next shot follows the bombers are they fly over land.<\/p><p>Rafe calls back to the other men on the plane, identifying the land as Japan. It\u2019s time to man your guns!<\/p><p>Over an industrial part of town, the bombers open their doors and start dropping bombs. Explosions rip through the buildings below as we can see people running away from the flames and glass flying everywhere.<\/p><p>From below, the sound of an air raid siren can be heard. Japanese defenders start shooting back with their anti-aircraft guns. The B-25s are trying to dodge the flack, but it\u2019s everywhere. Some of the planes get hit, leaving holes in the side as air starts whipping around inside.<\/p><p>Back in the United States, a general delivers an update to President Roosevelt. He says that Doolittle had to advance the plan by 12 hours. They won\u2019t have enough fuel to return to the mainland.<\/p><p>Back with the planes, Colonel Doolittle breaks radio silence. He tells the men he\u2019s sorry. You\u2019re all brave souls, he says, but we\u2019re on our own.<\/p><h2>The true story behind this week\u2019s event depicted in the movie <em>Pearl Harbor<\/em><\/h2><p>This event comes from the 2001 movie called <em>Pearl Harbor<\/em> and it depicts something that happened this week in history: The bombing of Tokyo during what we now know as the Doolittle Raid.<\/p><p>The movie was correct to suggest the bombers weren\u2019t trying to return to the carriers to land. They learned that in the training for the mission, which began in January of 1942. The reason was simply because landing a bomber on a carrier was much more difficult than taking off.<\/p><p>So, the plan was to drop their bombs and then head to China.<\/p><p>The movie was also correct to show them stripping the planes down by removing guns and adding an extra gas tank. They really did paint broomsticks in the hopes it\u2019d deter Japanese fighters from attacking the bombers, but it\u2019s not like they did it mere minutes before they were going to launch.<\/p><p>With that said, though, the plan was forced to happen ahead of time. That was because a little after 3:00 AM on April 18th, a Japanese boat was detected. The American task force tried to evade the Japanese ship, only to find yet another one on radar. At about 7:30 AM, another Japanese patrol boat was spotted about 11 miles or 18 kilometers away. The movie was also correct to show 16 B-25s.<\/p><p>The movie was wrong to suggest it was all Doolittle\u2019s decision to launch, though.<\/p><p>Another huge thing the movie got wrong was to suggest that two pilots from Pearl Harbor were involved. I\u2019m talking, of course, of the Danny and Rafe characters from the movie\u2014they\u2019re not real, and they weren\u2019t involved in the Doolittle Raid.<\/p><p>In truth, it was Admiral Halsey, who was leading the task force that carried the B-25s. Once Japanese patrol boats started showing up, he didn\u2019t want to risk the American carriers getting any closer so he issued the order for Doolittle to launch.<\/p><p>Doolittle\u2019s B-25s managed to drop bombs on targets in Tokyo, Yokosuka, Yokohama, Kobe and Nagoya, Japan. They didn\u2019t encounter much resistance due in large part to their attack being a complete surprise to the Japanese.<\/p><p>Of the 16 B-25s, 15 of them crashed into occupied China. One landed in the Soviet Union, where it was captured intact.<\/p><p>The targets bombed by the Americans that day didn\u2019t have much of a strategic effect on the war. It did, however, have a massive morale boost for Americans as well as being the first time the war was brought to the Japanese homeland.<\/p><p>If you want to watch the event that happened this week in history, check out 2001\u2019s <em>Pearl Harbor<\/em> and the Doolittle Raid starts at about two hours and 31 minutes into the movie.<\/p><p>We dug deeper into the true story with historian Marty Morgan on episode #212 of Based on a True Story.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>April 21st, 1918. France.<\/h2><p>A young man leaves a tent with a young woman. He\u2019s wearing a gray hat striped with red along with a gray sweater. She\u2019s wearing a red and white striped robe as she puts a white scarf around his neck.<\/p><p>\u201cWhat a great day to fly,\u201d he says to her.<\/p><p>She says he\u2019s a brave man and with a smile, he walks away. Following him are some other soldiers. We can see the clearing where the tent is located is actually an airfield. There are some biplanes and triplanes scattered about the airfield.<\/p><p>A uniformed pilot starts to get into one of the green and white-colored triplanes.<\/p><p>The man from earlier in the gray sweater is standing by an all-red triplane. There\u2019s sad music playing in the movie as he looks around to some of the other pilots, each one getting in their planes. He looks back at the woman, who is just standing there watching him.<\/p><p>Then, he climbs into the red plane.<\/p><p>\u201cContact!\u201d someone yells as the engine kicks to life.<\/p><p>From the cockpit, he looks right at her. She smiles and the scene fades to black.<\/p><h2>The true story behind this week\u2019s event depicted in the movie <em>The Red Baron<\/em><\/h2><p>That scene comes from the 2018 movie called <em>The Red Baron<\/em> as it depicts the start of an event that happened this week in history: The day the Red Baron was shot down and killed.<\/p><p>Although the movie doesn\u2019t show the actual event itself. It shows them getting in the plane, then it cuts to two weeks afterward, so let\u2019s fill in some historical context about the true story.<\/p><p>Manfred Albrecht von Richthofen, who was known as The Red Fighter Pilot during his lifetime and is more commonly known today as The Red Baron. Since he was the only one in the plane that day, it\u2019s worth pointing out that there has been a lot of debate among historians about exactly what happened.<\/p><p>But as best as we can tell, Richthofen was hit by a bullet during aerial combat just after 11:00 AM on April 21st, 1918 while flying over Northern France near the Somme River. Richthofen was flying with his cousin, Wolfram von Richthofen, so I\u2019ll use their first names since they have the same last name.<\/p><p>The two Germans were battling two Canadian Sopwith Camels, one piloted by Wilfrid May and the other by Arthur Brown.<\/p><p>May attacked Wolfram\u2019s plane, causing Manfred to come to his cousin\u2019s defense. That\u2019s when Brown attacked Manfred\u2019s plane. He dodged Brown\u2019s attack, something that was stopped short when Brown had to pull out of a dive to avoid hitting the ground. Somewhere around there is when we think Manfred was hit by a bullet in the chest. It\u2019s believed he was dead less than a minute later, but his plane stalled, dove and hit the ground hard.<\/p><p>Witnesses on the ground who were nearby said Richthofen was already dead when they got to the crashed plane. At the time, Arthur Brown was credited with the kill. Although, as I mentioned, there\u2019s been a lot of debate over exactly what happened and most people these days think it was actually an anti-aircraft round that struck and killed Richthofen.<\/p><p>There have been a number of investigations into the angles of the anti-aircraft from the Royal Australian Artillery units that were firing into the sky that day, and different investigations came away with some varying answers as to who might\u2019ve been the one to deliver the fatal shot.<\/p><p>If you want to watch Richthofen\u2019s story this week, check out the 2018 movie called The Red Baron and he takes off for the last time at about an hour and 34 minutes into the film.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, we&#8217;ll learn about historical events that happened this week in history as they were depicted in these movies: The Conspirator, Pearl Harbor,\u00a0and\u00a0The Red Baron.
