1 x 60', U.S. Public TV, additional TBD. April 18, 1942… 80 young American airmen are about to embark on their first combat mission. It might also be their last. The planes they are flying were never intended to launch from an aircraft carrier. But that's what they are about to do. They have enough fuel to reach their targets, military, and industrial sites in Tokyo and five other Japanese cities, but not much farther. And even if they somehow make their way to China, and relative safety, no one knows they are coming. Decades later, the children of those aviators visited China, to quite literally walk in their father's footsteps. But is this mission remembered in China as heroic or misguided? What kind of reception will they receive at a time when America/China relations are bad? Very bad. One historical event… Two different stories… What really happened?
