Part One
In a rigorous course of instruction, young men and women learn to lift off and land a supersonic aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean, still considered one of the most difficult and hazardous tasks. The episode concludes with World War II and the U.S. victory in the Pacific, when carrier aviation reigned supreme.
