I look forward to this. I just hope he doesn't spend 3/4 of the series on the Tuskeegee airmen and 5 minutes on the Pacific Theater. lol.

You mean the way he obsessed about New York and Boston in the Baseball doc's and relegated the rest of the world (the Cardinals/Cubs rivalry) to a footnote?

The Pacific theater was a very vast area to cover.
I once had a debate with my dad in which one was the most interesting , he said, the Europe theater, and I said, the Pacific, but all in all, the Europe theater was the more critical.
I saw ( In Harms Way ) with John Wayne, Henry Fonda, last night on TCM... I was wondering ? was that movie based around the battles around the Fiji Islands ?

That's exactly what it will be about. The way Burns does it, though, if you saw Baseball, is that his pet issues show up over and over again, he doesn't relegate it to one portion of the documentary.

So there won't be a chapter on the Tuskeegee airmen, but they will be featured at almost every point throughout.

Come on, be fair, it will be 75% Tuskeegee Airmen, 12.5% Apache Code Talkers, 6% on the contributions of Gay Marines, and 6.5% on both the Pacific and European theaters.

BE FAIR Dammit it was a very diverse war!/Sarcasm
