"Movie in the making to be shown on theaters near you...Date of showing is April 2014........The story “Days of Infamy” is about the bravery of Philippine Army Air Corps Airmen of the United States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) who fought against all odds during the invasion of the Japanese Empire in the Philippine Islands during WW II. In this era, the Philippine Islands was a Commonwealth State of the USA. That in spite of their antiquated aircraft almost obsolete during the start of the Pacific War flew and met a more superior Japanese Air Forces without hesitation to defend the country against her enemy. It is a story of valiant and courageous Filipinos and Americans making a last stand at Bataan and Corregidor hoping that reinforcement will come for it is only a matter of time this sentinel of freedom and democracy west of the Pacific will fall into the hands of the Japanese Empire. Because of their persistence and will to fight, the defenders were able to delay the 50 day timetable of Japanese advances into Australia and other Southeast Asian countries. The exploits and the valor exemplified by these men became a living example of true chivalry that is today distinguished by many generations of fighting men willing to shed the ultimate sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty."

For a second I thought you were referring to the Harry Turtledove book. The sad thing is that they could have actually held up a little longer if there hadn't been so many screw ups when the war began for the US. Japan had an amazing lucky streak until Midway, though its defeat was inevitable.
