GMT Program Title Description
0500 Clash of Wings Plunge into Reality, The The a period of inactivity between Hitler's invasion of Poland and Scandinavia, the British called the "Phoney War." The RAF used this period to build up airpower. The shocking bombing of Rotterdam in Holland became a wake up call to the Allies.
0600 World's Deadliest Aircraft P-40 Warhawk One of the most rugged fighters ever built, the P-40 was the Army Air Forces font line fighter at the start of WWII. The P-40, while not an outstanding fighter, is among the top five aircraft in US history in terms of number of aircraft produced.
0700 Ultimate Weapons Shock and Awe Shock and Awe weapons are designed to make a massive impact and they don't disappoint. These rapid dominance systems overwhelm in the deadliest and most effective ways, physically and psychologically overpowering the enemy.
0800 Great Planes B-52 Stratofortress First deployed in the early '50s, the B-52 was the Strategic Air Command's primary weapon of deterrence. Its range enabled worldwide deployment of SAC's nuclear arsenal. Today the B-52 is flown in low-level bombing and electronic warfare roles.
0900 World's Deadliest Aircraft AC-130 Spectre The AC-130's primary mission was night attacks against ground targets and armed reconnaissance. With a combat history dating to the Vietnam War, they destroyed more than 10,000 trucks and were credited with many life-saving close air support missions.
1000 World's Deadliest Aircraft B-29 Superfortress Designed as a replacement of the B-17 and B-24, the B-29 was considered the ultimate bomber of WWII and is best known as the aircraft that dropped the atomic bombers on Nagasaki and Hiroshima at the end of WWII.
1100 Unsolved History Roswell Find out the truth behind accusations that the Air Force recovered a flying saucer from outer space in the desert of New Mexico in 1947. Was this the greatest cover-up, or one of the greatest hoaxes in history?
1200 Unsolved History D.B. Cooper A Hollywood screenwriter couldn't have better scripted D.B. Cooper's parachuted jump strapped with a stolen $200,000 from Northwest Airlines 727 in 1971. With sophisticated forensic techniques, new light is shed on this dark night of a criminal vanisher.
1300 20th Century Battlefields 1982 Falklands Dan and Peter Snow travel 8,000 miles to tell the story of the last battle on British territory. Argentina's invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982 prompted Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to gamble everything on a risky amphibious operation.
1400 Battleplan Special Operations Take a look at the first sustained use of Special Operations - the campaign in France to support D-Day, and at the crucial Special Forces operation in northern Iraq in 2002 when technology brought a major change in the way special forces operate.
1500 Battleplan Assault from the Sea Assaults from the sea range from massive invasions to the seizure of entire continents, to spectacular raids and counterattacks. But landing on a hostile shore from a potentially very hostile environment has always given military planners problems.
1600 Battleplan Counterstrike History is full of examples where a numerically inferior army has turned the tide of battle by a brilliant execution of its battleplan for counterstrike. Take a look at occasions when counterstrike worked brilliantly, and see why they were so effective.
1700 Battleplan Blockade The battleplan for blockade is directed against a nation as a whole and is designed to destroy or at least damage a country's ability to wage war. Examine historical blockades such as the North's blockade of the South during the American Civil War.
1800 Weapons Races The Race for the Ballistic Missile This program looks at the men who first conceived the idea of long-range rockets, their successes and failures, and the way in which the nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile became the most powerful weapon ever known to man.
1900 Combat Zone Rescue in Panama Panama, 1989 - Dictator Manuel Noriega ordered captors to kill American prisoner Kurt Muse if any rescue is attempted. The fourteen Delta Force commandos sent in faced danger - and disaster.
2000 Battleplan The Defensive Battle Sometimes a battleplan can be based on deliberately letting the enemy come to you and exhaust himself before a counterstrike is mounted. To plan this type of battle requires great nerve and confidence - and the certainty that the enemy will attack.
2100 Combat Zone Battle of Inchon, Korea Korea, 1950 - Three months after Communist North Korea invaded the South, thousands of US Marines hit the beaches behind enemy lines to form a fierce counterattack. Joined by Army infantry, in only 2 weeks they recaptured the South's capitol of Seoul.
2200 Our Time in Hell: The Korean War - Part 1 Our Time in Hell: The Korean War - Pt. 1 In the first months of the Korean War, American and UN troops were nearly defeated, until Gen. MacArthur's invasion of Inchon turned the tables. Little did he know that China was about to join the fight.
2300 Our Time in Hell: The Korean War - Part 2 Our Time in Hell: The Korean War - Pt. 2 When the Chinese entered the Korean War, America considered nuclear retaliation, which could have sparked World War III. This "Forgotten War" for the Korean peninsula claimed four million lives in just three years.
0000 Return to Tarawa Return to Tarawa WWII veteran Leon Cooper returns to the Battlefield of Tarawa, the first major amphibious assault in the Pacific War. He is attempting to get funds from Congress to clean up the beaches where over 1000 Marines fell in just three days.
