Narrated by Gary Sinise. Follow a crew of explorers, led by legendary Chicago restaurateur Richard Portillo, to Bougainville, New Guinea to the northern Solomon Islands (Southwest Pacific) as they trek through dense jungle and deep mud to visit the remote site of the plane wreck of famed Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s crashed Betty Bomber. Admiral Yamamoto is best known as the architect of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and Japan’s failed battle at Midway in June of 1942. He was also openly opposed to a war with the United States from the outset and against any alliance with Germany and Italy in WWII. However, no one in Japan prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor listened to his warnings, so he did what any admiral or general would do in his position, Yamamoto fought for his country despite his true feelings the war could not be won. Allied intelligence was able to decipher the Japanese naval code and identify that Yamamoto’s plane was headed to Bougainville on April 18, 1943. His bomber was intercepted and shot down by American P-38 fighter planes. President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the final ok on the assassination attempt. It was a bold decision that changed the outcome of the war in the Pacific. This is only part of the story, however. While on Bougainville, WWII Historian and Guide Andy Giles makes an incredible discovery in the mud. One that could change the long-held narrative of how exactly Admiral Yamamoto died in 1943.
