The show tells the history of the 345th Bombardment Group (345th BG) “Air Apaches” equipped with the B-25 Mitchell medium bombers modified as strafers with additional nose guns. The group flew combat missions across the Southwest Pacific, including New Guinea, the Philippines, and Japan. Most missions were flown at tree-top heights of only 50′ to 100′, and their cameras snapped some of the most dramatic photography ever recorded of aerial warfare.

We are joined once again by Justin Taylan, the founder/director of Pacific Wrecks. Inspired by his grandfather who served in World War II in the Pacific as a U.S. Army combat photographer in the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). In the early 1990s, he was inspired to start Pacific Wrecks after traveling with his grandfather to the places he served and visiting battlefields and war wrecks. Returning, Taylan started the website that became Pacific Wrecks.
