Heroes on Deck: World War II on Lake Michigan
Heroes on Deck: World War II on Lake Michigan is the amazing forgotten story of how more than one hundred World War II aircraft ended up on the bottom of Lake Michigan. During World War II, just off Chicago’s shoreline, the U.S. Navy trained more than 15,000 carrier pilots on two makeshift “flattops”; both former, coal-fired, side wheel passenger steamers. Not every pilot landed on the pitching decks of the U.S.S. Wolverine and U.S.S. Sable, and many aircraft crashed to the lake bottom. This is the story of the recovery of those rare warbirds and the ingenious training programs that changed the course of the war in the Pacific.

Presidents at War
The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor plunges an unprepared United States into World War Two. Among the 16 million Americans who serve on active duty are 8 American Presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Bush, Ford, Reagan, and Eisenhower. Night One of this epic special event follows these men through war in both the European and Pacific theaters, starting in December 1941 through late 1943, telling the story of their war experiences and how those experiences shaped them as leaders. In the Pacific, Johnson is nearly killed in a twist of fate, and JFK's PT boat is blown up, Reagan becomes the popular face of the American soldier, Carter joins the U.S. Naval academy, and Eisenhower moves from a rookie to a seasoned general as he leads the invasion of North Africa, Italy--and prepares for D-Day.

Night Two of this epic event special follows these men from late 1943 to the wars' end, in both the European and Pacific theaters. From D-Day to the final Pacific Island hopping campaigns, we see what they experience and how that shapes them as leaders. Nixon faces a barrage of live fire, Bush is shot down in the Pacific, Ford faces kamikazes on the U.S.S. Monterey, and Eisenhower takes on perhaps the greatest invasion in world history--the invasion of Normandy.
