It was in the late summer of 1943 that the American Navy launched its operation to drive the Japanese from the central Pacific. The aircraft carrier was to play a crucial role in its success, for not only did the new carriers give the Americans enormous fire-power, but also, the US shipyards were turning them out at a rate of one per month. This programme tells the dramatic story of the desperate struggle for the Pacific. It features rare archive footage of aircraft carriers in action and examines their function in this vital theatre of war. 'Carrier Warfare' also includes informative 3-D computer graphics.
