Get this film & three more on our “Fury in the Pacific” DVD http://bit.ly/1pH2Khm “Appointment in Tokyo” spans the time from the fall of the Philippine & the island fortress of Corregidor in May 1942 to General MacArthur's return to the islands in October 1944, with a primary focus on the battles to retake the Philippines. Copious combat footage of air, land and sea operations are supplemented by detailed maps that put it all in context. Highlights include: the initial amphibious landing on Leyte followed by fierce jungle fighting against General Yamashita's veteran troops; the air & sea Battle of Leyte Gulf, where small American “Jeep” carriers turned back a massive IJN counterattack; landings on Luzon in Lingayen Gulf followed by the drive to Manila, freeing Bataan POWs in a daring Ranger operation along the way; extremely rare live sound film of an infantry Captain calling in and coordinating A-20 Havoc attack bomber close air support attacks on a Japanese held ridge, all visible as it happened; fierce house-to-house street fighting in Manila, and the retaking of Corregidor, led by a dramatic parachute assault. The film then fittingly fast-forwards to the memorable spectacle of General MacArthur accepting the surrender of the Empire of Japan aboard the Missouri in Tokyo bay. “These proceedings are closed.” Zeno Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com Zeno's Flight Shop DVD Store – Worlds Largest Collection of WW2 Videos http://www.zenosflightshop.com
