Discover the untold story of the United States Army Air Forces and their pivotal role in WW2. Using newly restored archival footage, we trace the journey from the desperate early days of the Pacific to the massive "carpet bombing" campaigns in Normandy. Witness the engineering marvel of the B-29 Superfortress, the grueling construction of airfields in China, and the strategic air battles that dismantled the Luftwaffe and the Japanese Empire. This is the definitive record of the men and machines that secured Allied air supremacy.
