This episode covers the air war in Burma, where the ability to deliver troops and supplies by air helped to convincingly defeat the Japanese ground forces. At the same time, as the Allies fought their way across the Pacific, Japanese cities easily came into range. Now even Tokyo found itself under fearsome attacks by formations of B-29s with their Mustang escorts. Japan fought on - until aircraft delivered the knockout blow. Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was no defense. Now a single airplane could destroy an entire city, Imperial Japan had no choice but to capitulate.
