605. The Pacific, June 1942

Nora got #604!


Yamamoto plans to attack US aircraft and establish an air base on an atoll not far from the Hawaiian Islands. These men know about that plan, and expect to be ready for him when he comes. If they succeed, this could be a turning point in the Pacific theater.

Right, Jim! The ship scenes were filmed on board the USS Lexington, and Nora can tell us where that ship is now!

I sure can. Corpus Christi, Texas - home of Whataburger, Selena and the USS Lexington.

I think you're right, John. This was supposed to be the battle that won the Pacific War.
