We're looking at amphibious operations during the war in this episode. Until I started researching I hadn't realised how many there were. We're all pretty familiar with the handful in the European Theatre but in the Pacific the list is long…

In this episode I'm talking to Mike Walling. Mikes is the author of Bloodstained Sands, US amphibious operations in WWII, he is a veteran of the US navy coast guard and has spent the last forty years collecting stories from veterans.
