Nope, it was a single-tail jobber....A20 or B26, I believe. No twin-booms, unfortunately. Stupid Hollywood.
And yep, the romance was there...the woman kept sneaking extra food and medicine into the camp at very great personal risk to herself. Kept some of the men alive.
I know that, from the book, one rescuer was killed during the attack, grenade or rpg round near the gate, if I recall correctly, and one prisoner died of malaria on the way out. Not sure if it was the commander or not, though. I also recall there was an older British POW who was nearly deaf, and had gone to the can during the night and fallen asleep. When the IJA came stumbling back into the camp the next day, he was the only POW they found. Not sure what happened to him, but I can't imagine they were too gentle considering his age/condition. (course, I could be remembering a different rescue/escape)
(ETA screenshots from movie...same plane that does the distracting does flyover at end)
