Cebu Pacific, the Filipinos airline of choice, operates low cost service with a fleet of Boeing 757s on longer and busier routes as well as a dozen Douglas DC9-30s mostly on domestic routes. The airline has placed an order for Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft which will start replacing the fleet in 2005. This dvd is an opportunity to fly the DC9s and 757s on 9 domestic routes in the Philippines including the busy Manila-Cebu and Manila-Davao sectors. Flights are filmed in the cockpit and pilots give presentations of the aircraft throughout the program. A couple of these flights were filmed in the cabin with views over the wings on takeoff and landing.

The end of the War in the Pacific is one of the greatest and most terrible tales of modern history. The Japanese fought to the bitter end and continued to fight island by island, hill by hill. US Air Force command tried bombing Japan into submission, firebombing Tokyo but could not break the Japanese resolve. Over 200,000 people died. In the end, President Truman decided to go nuclear and the fates of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sealed.

Emmy Nominated! Take no prisoners. Fight to the bitter end. Those were everyday words to combat troops on both sides at the end of World War II in the Pacific. And they led to an unprecedented orgy of slaughter. AMERICAN EXPERIENCE examines the final months of the war and looks at the escalation of bloodletting from the vantage point of the Japanese and the Americans and decisions made by leaders on both sides that finally ended the war.
