Fleet carriers were too far offshore, fuel was limited, and lives were being lost by the thousands. The solution didn’t come from admirals or traditional shipbuilders—it came from bold American engineers who built what many mocked as “cheap” floating airfields. This video tells the incredible true story of how American industry, led by Henry J. Kaiser, created escort carriers at an impossible speed—sometimes one per week. Built from merchant ship hulls, these so-called “Woolworth Carriers” were designed to stay close to the beaches, providing nonstop air cover during amphibious landings. What critics called reckless would go on to save tens of thousands of American lives. From Tarawa and Makin to Leyte Gulf and Okinawa, these floating airfields changed the way wars were fought at sea. Using real battle data, firsthand accounts, and historical records, this documentary reveals how speed, innovation, and courage reshaped the Pacific War. 👉 If you enjoy untold WWII stories and military innovations, like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share your thoughts in the comments
