Nathan Hale tackles a topic fans have been asking about for years: World War II. On December 7th, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, officially bringing the United States into World War II. A new generation of pilots were recruited to fly bombing missions for the United States, and from that group, volunteers were requested for a dangerous secret assignment. 16 bombers set sail on the United State's first aircraft carrier. Once at sea, they were told their mission was a retaliation strike against targets in Tokyo. But on the day of the raid, a Japanese patrol boat spotted them and they had to launch early, with barely enough fuel to get them past their target. With tales of high-flying action and bravery, 'Sixteen Bombers' is a story of heartbreak and survival during wartime.
