After Pearl Harbor in WWII, America set out on the long mission to regain control of the Pacific. In this episode we see the long and arduous campaign drawing to a close, with American forces taking the Japanese-held islands of Guam, Tinian and Saipan in the Marianas chain. Also in this episode: In 'Steel Town' and 'A Community At War' we see the differing experiences of two Ohio cities, Youngstown and Dayton, and how their industrial power helped drive America to victory in WWII.
