Matt Roush says...
Tom Hanks‘s World War II chronicle may be over, but the fascination continues with two new chapters of the series depicting the era’s engineering breakthroughs. The first episode focuses on “mega builds” including a mammoth Japanese battleship, blasting a 100-mile road through mountains in Asia and the construction of the iconic Pentagon. The second is all about such innovative gadgets and weapons as the Enigma code-breaking machine, early night-vision scopes, the bazooka and a rendering through AI of the Germans’ six-engine “Gigant” transport plane.
