Summary: "Oriental Blitzkrieg: Analyze the forces that drove Japan to war and relive the initial victories that gave the Imperial forces an air of invincibility. Jungle and ocean: The American island-hopping campaign drove the Japanese from their Pacific strongholds, but it would take a weapon of a different order to bring the war to an end. The war at sea: This sweeping overview of World War II's naval engagements includes footage from Atlantic convoys, major Pacific battles and the amphibious landing at Normandy. Air war: Fly in a B-17 on a harrowing daylight bombing raid, see how British aviators staved off the Luftwaffe and watch as carrier-based fighters battle Zeros in the skies over Midway."--Container.
