Description

On the morning of December 8, 1941, the Marines of the 1st Defense Battalion are gearing up for another grueling day of war preparations on Wake Island—a small speck in the Pacific nestled between Hawaii and Guam. As they brace for the challenges ahead, a majestic Pan American Airways Philippine Clipper flying boat takes off from the lagoon formed by the islets of Peale, Wake, and Wilkes, embarking on a trans-Pacific flight that will forever remain unfinished. Join us as we delve into this pivotal moment in history, narrated by Robert Cressman.
