Plot Summary

Directly following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Sgt. Jon Basilone ships out to fight the enemy somewhere in the Pacific, and young journalist, Robert Leckie, enlists in the Marine Corps. Sidney Phillips ships off to boot camp after saying farewell to his friend Eugene Sledge, who cannot go with him due to a heart murmur. Eight months later, Phillips and Leckie have completed boot camp and are sent to secure an airfield on Guadalcanal, and defend it against counterattack. Written by David Fuller

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia The night action by the Japanese against the Marines' positions on the sandbar at the mouth of Alligator Creek is known as the Battle of the Tenaru. The Japanese had badly underestimated the scale of the US forces on the island. This led to overconfidence on their part, and so in the early hours of 21 August 1942, 917 Japanese attacked entrenched and well-defended Marine positions on the Tenaru sandbar. They lost over 780 dead in that single battle. See more »
Goofs The map of the world showing the Axis powers' extent shows Iceland as Nazi occupied - although a plan to invade Iceland was drawn up during WWII, the island was never invaded or occupied by Germany. The British occupied the officially neutral Iceland in May 1940, replaced by the USA in July 1941. So at the time of Episode 1, December 1941, Iceland was occupied by the USA, not the Nazis.
