Summary

This week Seth and Bill welcome back the third amigo, Jon Parshall, as the trio dive into Allied and Japanese commander's performances in 1944 and 1945. Halsey, Spruance, MacArthur, Mitscher, McCain, LeMay, Hansell, Bruce, Burke, Rupertus, Yamashita, Iwabuchi, Nakagawa and others are reviewed by the guys in this totally off-the-cuff discussion. The guys get into the big names, and some of the commanders you might not be so familiar with. This was a fun one to make, and we hope you guys like it too. #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze

0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Hello and welcome to episode 428 of the unauthorized history of the Pacific War podcast.
0:43.0	My name is Seth Peridon, historian and deputy director of the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum.
0:46.7	And with me, as always, is my esteemed co-host, retired Navy Captain Bill Tody, former skipper of the Fast Tech submarine USS Indianapolis,
0:53.1	Commodore Submarine Squadron 3 in Pearl Harbor, and many others.
0:55.5	Again, Bill, I did it without looking at the notes.
0:58.5	You should by now, Seth.
1:00.5	I think.
1:01.8	Yeah.
1:03.6	And it's a very frigid 61 degrees here in Florida, so I've got my long-sleeve shirt on.

1:24.8	Thank you in my distinctly colder Minnesota house.
1:29.5	So, yeah. It's nippy in South Mississippi today. It is, what I say, 37 degrees. It's actually about 42 right now. But yeah, good winter weather, good December weather. All right. So instead of doing my normal long, drawn-out, very windy introduction, I'm not going to do any of that today.
1:51.4	We're going to do what we've done in the past, which is kind of do a riff on the commanders of the Pacific Theater 44-45.
2:00.3	We're just going to start and just go.
