Discover how “islands made of concrete and coral” pulled Japan’s home cities into range—and changed the last year of World War II. In 1944–45, U.S. Navy Seabees carved four parallel runways into the coral plateau of Tinian and rebuilt captured strips on Saipan, turning tiny dots on the map into unsinkable airfields for the B-29 Superfortress. Japanese pilots who once laughed off distant raids suddenly watched silver giants arrive from the open Pacific, too high to reach and too many to stop. From the first shocks over Tokyo to the firebombing of March 10, 1945, and the pre-dawn loading of Enola Gay on August 6, this film follows the moment the Pacific stopped being a moat and became a highway.
