Описание: In November 1944, Corporal Jack "Ducks" Mallory, a 29-year-old Maine waterfowl hunter serving with the 96th Infantry Division, faced a 200-man Japanese banzai charge on Leyte Island in the Philippines. Standard Army doctrine said fix bayonets, conserve ammunition, prepare for close combat. Mallory had spent 18 years shooting ducks on the wing in Maine marshes—tracking multiple fast-moving targets, leading flight paths, snap shooting without conscious aim. His officers said duck hunting had nothing to do with stopping massed infantry charges. The 200 Japanese soldiers learned differently. Over 11 minutes on November 12th, 1944, Mallory used his Browning Automatic Rifle like a duck gun, sweeping fire across moving targets the way he swept shotgun pellets across flying flocks, and stopped the entire banzai charge single-handedly. After the war, Mallory returned to Maine and guided duck hunts for another 28 years. He died in 1984. His BAR is in the Infantry Museum at Fort Moore. Almost nobody knows his name.
