Air front. Japan, triumph & defeat '41-'45. Episode 3
Description
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Empire rapidly surged out into south-east Asia and the Central Pacific. Triumph & Defeat '41 - '45 tells the story of the initial Japanese successes and then the relentless fight back by the Allies across the vast distances of the Pacific. Allied Air Force & Navy aircraft supported the advance through the Solomon, Gilbert, Marshall and Philippine Island groups. With the Mariana Islands secured, the massive B-29 bombing campaign would now take the war to Japan itself, culminating in the devastating atomic bomb attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
