Michener. The book details the experiences of United States Navy pilots in the Korean War as they undertake a mission to destroy heavily protected bridges in enemy territory. InfluencesIn 1951, Michener, a former United States Navy officer, was an embedded reporter with the Navy's Task Force 77. He was on the aircraft carriers {{USS|Essex|CV-9}} and {{USS|Valley Forge|CV-45}} offshore in Korea, and wrote for The Saturday Evening Post and Reader's Digest on the Korean air war.[2][3] The rescue climax of the story echoes the exploits of Lt. John Kelvin Koelsch who was the first helicopter pilot awarded the Medal of Honor and Duane Thorin, a helicopter pilot on the {{USS|Rochester|CA-124}}.[4] Film adaptationThe Bridges at Toko-Ri was made into a film of the same name in 1954 by Paramount Pictures, just one year after the book's publication. Starring Grace Kelly and William Holden, it was directed by Mark Robson, who had also brought Return to Paradise, another Michener book, to screen one year earlier. Commander Marshall Beebe who led the Carrier Squadron when Michener was aboard acted as technical adviser to the film and had a cameo role in the film as a pilot.[5]Further readingThe book Such Men As These, published in 2010 by David Sears, uses "Michener’s notes to follow the real-life aviators from the day they left home to the truce that ended the war...Sears also follows Michener’s own progress in writing [The Bridges at Toko-Ri], which many veterans felt was the best depiction of their experience on the ground and in the sky."[6] References1. ^[https://www.flickr.com/photos/13313279@N04/sets/72157625670023216/detail/?page=3 Bound books - a set on Flickr] {{JamesAMichener}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bridges at Toko-Ri, The}}2. ^p.107 Hansen, James R.
