The American Bomber That Shattered Japan's Hope Of Victory

Discover the untold story of how a Harvard chemistry professor's Valentine's Day 1942 discovery changed the Pacific War forever. This gripping WW2 documentary reveals how napalm became the most devastating weapon in the Pacific Theater - destroying more Japanese cities and killing more civilians than the atomic bombs. From its first combat use on Tinian to the horrific firebombing of Tokyo on March 9, 1945 that killed 100,000 in a single night, this WW2 story follows napalm's evolution from laboratory experiment to the weapon that burned 64 Japanese cities. Featuring Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams on Iwo Jima, revolutionary flame tanks, and General Curtis LeMay's controversial B-29 firebombing campaign. While the Eighth Air Force was conducting bomber escort missions over Berlin and the Luftwaffe fought P-51 Mustangs in the European Theater, the Pacific War saw a different kind of air combat - one that ended with the systematic destruction of Japan through incendiary warfare. Using declassified documents and WW2 memoirs, this military history documentary examines how the USAAF and US Navy coordinated to deliver the weapon that ended World War 2 in the Pacific. A powerful WW2 audiobook-style narrative about naval warfare, air combat, and the birth of modern total war.
