| In a perfectly executed World War II mission that took place at the end of January 1944, U.S. forces defeated the Japanese at a littIe-known outpost in the Marshall lsIands calIed KwajaIein AtolI. As part of the effort to win control of this cruciaI gateway to the Japanese empire, U.S. aircraft bombarded Japanese suppIy ships in the lagoon at Kwajalein for severaI weeks prior to the attack, sinking most of them, some stiII at anchor, and others as they attempted to escape. LittIe is left of the battIe of Kwajalein except these silent wrecks still lying at the bottom of the Iagoon where they were defeated, out of sight and forgotten until now. After the war, the lagoon at Kwajalein was the dumping ground for WorId War Il era American war planes incIuding Corsairs, B-25s, C-46s, and the SBD Dauntless. Few people have ever seen these wrecks because Kwajalein has been a restricted military base since the end of WorId War ll. Now, for the first time, the U.S. miIitary has granted permission to an outside fiIm crew to document the wrecks for posterity, before they are Iost forever to the dusts of time. |
