The unleashing of America's industrial might during World War II is almost unbelievable, and the auto industry held the key.

In his critically acclaimed book "Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II", historian and author Arthur Herman unravels the complex story of how the sleeping giant of isolationist America was awakened to lead the free world against tyranny.

On this, the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dr. Herman revisits this history and specifically the work of Bill Knudsen, the General Motors executive who spearheaded "The Arsenal of Democracy".

In 1975, the Porsche 930 Turbo blew everyone away with performance, its wide body and that wild, outrageous rear spoiler that was nicknamed the "whale tail".

Now, Porsche aficionado Johans Lamic has blown the Porsche world away once again, taking that iconic bit of aero kit and transforming it into a series of sculptures... nine different series of historic paint liveries with eleven individual pieces in each series. Johan talks with Maurice about his love of Porsche, how "The Whale Tail Project" was born, and how he crafts each piece.
