| Summary |
On March 19, 1945, Franklin, sailing less than 100 miles off the coast of Japan, is launching strikes against the mainland. Just as her aircraft are taking off, an enemy dive-bomber attacked Franklin and the aircraft carrier was transformed into a cataclysmic inferno. All hope appears lost. Documented is the most extensive visual account of USS Franklin and the carrier war in the Pacific. Hear and see the battle through the eyes of the men who were there as they share their stories. |
