This review is from: Crusade in Pacific 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the most comprehensive of all the videos which I have seen on the subject of the Pacific War. The series was made in 1951 by Time, Inc., and features film clips from a number of sources: American, Japanese, British, Chinese, Australian, and others. The narration is straightforward. The picture quality is good. Animated maps help you to follow the progress of the various campaigns. The series covers a lot of ground, so you don't always get as much detail as you'd like.

Volume 3 is 1 hour and 44 minutes. Subjects include: Photo reconnaissance units; The Battle of Empress Augusta Bay; the Battle at Piva Forks; the US invasion of Makin and Tarawa; the Navy's use of carriers and submarines; the carrier attack on Formosa; the battle for Kwajalein and Eniwetok; the Seabees; US air strikes against the Caroline Islands and Truk.
