Synopsis
A look at the Korean conflict, often labeled "the forgotten war." Using information declassified at the end of the Cold War, the program looks at the military aims of the confrontation, which included the first combat engagements of the jet age and marked the beginning of air-to-air warfare between American pilots and their Soviet counterparts. Computer-generated graphics trace the deployments and movements of the major participants and their troops. The program also showcases archival film from China, Korea and the Soviet Union, showing the Korean Peoples' Army (North Korea) and their allies, the Chinese Peoples' Volunteer Army, in action.
