Objective and authoritative "Air Wars- Fire In the Skies" is a leading light in World War Two documentary programming. By including a comprehensive review of the military and political position before each battle, portraits of leaders and commanders, an explanation of weapons and tactics and the stories of the battles themselves, each programme provides a compelling record of some of the war's most crucial episodes.

The incredible story of the attack planned by Lieutenant Colonel 'Jimmy' Doolittle to Japan as retaliation for the "Day of Infamy" at Pearl Harbor. 
The April 18, 1942 bombing raid on Tokyo conducted by Lt. Col. James Doolittle's 16 Mitchell B-25s--dubbed "Operation Shangri-la" by FDR--is recalled. It was a major American morale booster in the wake of Allied disasters in the Pacific, although its military significance was minimal.
