Episode 1

On December 7, 1941, Japan bombed the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Over the next few months, Japanese forces rampaged across Asia, humiliating America and its allies.

The balance seems to be tipping in favor of the United States. Yet Japan remains determined to fight to the end in a war of attrition.

This three-part series tells the story of the Pacific War. At sea, this modern conflict relies on aircraft carriers: the battles are fought by fighters and bombers, flying kilometers from these floating runways
