Pearl Harbor - Legacy of Attack
After one of the most notorious sneak attacks in military history, join National Geographic for an exploration of the still unsolved mysteries and startling true stories behind the "day of infamy" that plunged the United States into World War II! Set sail with Dr. Robert Ballard, discoverer of the Titanic, in search of a sunken Japanese midget submarine that could have changed history. Relive the momentous battle through American and Japanese eyewitness accounts, and see the haunting, first-ever images captured inside the sunken hull of the U.S.S. Arizona battleship. Experience the real story of December 7, 1941, as only National geographic can tell it.
The Battle for Midway
More than 50 years ago, a lonely outpost of coral and sea named Midway erupted into one of World War II's greatest naval battles. Now, "Titanic" discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard and a team of experts return to Midway to attempt the impossible: locate at least one of the five downed aircraft carriers more than three miles underwater. With him are four WWII veterans - two Japanese and two Americans - whose gripping stories of wartime survival create an emotional counterpoint to the search for their missing ships. This extraordinary DVD presentation also features rare battle footage by Hollywood director John Ford.
