Documentary filmmaker Harvey Moshman tells the story about a little-known US Navy program that, in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor, recruited and trained 15,000 aircraft carrier pilots on Lake Michigan, just off Chicago's shores. This ingenious idea allowed the Navy to safely train enough pilots to ship out to the war in the Pacific and defeat the Japanese. As a result of the Midwest's challenging wind and weather, as well the inexperience of some of the pilots, more than 100 WWII fighter planes went to the bottom of Lake Michigan. This Emmy® Award-winning documentary follows the recovery and restoration of three rare warbirds. Narrated by Bill Kurtis. Executive Producer Harvey Moshman is the Director of Aircraft Recovery Photography.
