I signed up for Paramount streaming. It cost $5.95 per month.
It includes the Smithsonian channel, and they have some fantastic documentaries. One I just watched was called the last bomb. It was about the B-29 bombing raids on Japan.
We were sending over 1,000 in one raid B-29s loaded with incendiary bombs to target Japan's infrastructure. Most of Tokyo was reduced to rubble. The Mustangs flew escort, from different islands and met up with the B-29s. The navy sent ships to be in the area for any rescues. The Mustangs would shoot down the limited Japanese Zeros and then go on strafing raids to shoot up trains, airfields and factories.
Of course finally we dropped the two nukes and brought the Japanese surrender.
They have astonish documentaries about a variety of subjects.
