Program Description

Event Details

In January 1944, a new Marine fighter squadron was preparing for its role in the largest amphibious and air assault on Japanese forces in the Pacific. Sadly, these eager Marine pilots were confronted by a deadly Pacific typhoon. Now, after three years of careful research into official documents and dozens of interviews, Mark Carlson, author of The Marines’ Lost Squadron, tells the whole compelling story and reveals one of the last dark secrets of World War II.
