- Synopsis:
- When Japan declared war on the United States in 1941, Japan's opening gambit - Admiral Nagumo's air strike on Pearl Harbour - established the aircraft carrier as the ultimate weapon on naval warfare. In a daring revenge mission, America's James Doolittle hit back at the heart of Tokyo with a handful of carrier-based bombers before Nagumo met his match in the commander Chester Nimitz at Midway. The carrier's development is traced from World War Two through Korea and Vietnam to the Falklands, where a combination of vertical take-off strike-planes, helicopters and missile systems proved the modern carrier still reigned supreme.
