    Special Episode: Captain Toti's Pearl Harbor (Part 1)
    This week Bill takes you on a tour of Pearl Harbor, to include Admiral Kimmel's office (with a great revelation regarding Admiral Nimitz), the site of the HA-19 midget submarine grounding, the spot where midget submarine I-22 tau was sunk in Pearl Harbor, Lockwood Hall to include the Clean Sweep Bar and the Skipper's Lounge, the site of Station Hypo, USS Missouri, and various other sites at Pearl Harbor. Join us next week for Part 2 of Captain Toti's Pearl Harbor. PS-- this is our version of "Operation Shoestring" where we try to do on location video podcasts on a shoestring budget, complete with audio problems! The good news is that we learned from this and future attempts will be better.

    Brothers Down: Pearl Harbor and the Fate of the Many Brothers Aboard the USS Arizona

    On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked American military installations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and propelled the United States into the Second World War. To mark the 80th anniversary of the attack, the MacArthur Memorial and the Hampton Roads Naval Museum partnered to host a special commemorative lecture by historian Walter Borneman about his book Brothers Down, the story of 38 sets of brothers who served on the USS Arizona.
