Unsolved History: Myths of Pearl Harbor |
|
Unsolved History is history the way it was! Through detailed examination of
archeological and forensic evidence, existing photographs, artifact
examination, and carefully selected interviews from eyewitnesses and experts
– events are reconstructed and historical questions are finally answered.
Every American knows the date – December 7, 1941 – the morning the Japanese
Imperial Navy launched a massive attack on Pearl Harbor. What most people
don't know is that the first shots of the battle were fired by an American
naval vessel, nearly an hour before the air attack started! The ship's
target? One of Japan's four secret weapons – the so-called "midget? subs –
two-man vessels designed to cripple U.S. ships from below, while Japanese
bombers rained fire from above.
Examine the role these midget subs played in the Pearl Harbor attack, the
technology and strategy behind the subs and the recent discovery of one sub
sunk outside the harbor that morning. Accompany marine archaeologists on a
dive as they get their first look at the sub and watch as a World War II vet
gets his second look – 61 years later. Forensic photo analysts use
state-of-the-art technology to determine whether a controversial photo taken
from a Japanese plane reveals a mysterious fifth sub firing on American
ships inside Pearl Harbor that morning. Could the Americans have been warned
in time to defend themselves against the Japanese attack?
