The Allies start building out Saipan into a forward base and B-29 anchor point. There are advantages to invading islands so close rather than thousands of miles away. But just as Americans are putting past battle lessons to good use, so are the Japanese. Guam and Tinian will not be easy. Meanwhile, B-29 raids into mainland Japan begin from bases in China, and the learning curve is steep. They are mostly ineffective, between Japanese air defenses, weather challenges, and the B-29's own mechanical failures. Many planes are lost. It all makes the Marianas even more critical for Americans to capture. After Roosevelt, MacArthur and Nimitz share a tense strategy meeting, Allies move to Peleliu to support MacArthur's looming invasion of the Philippines. As the episode concludes, America finds Peleliu will be anything but easy.

The US aims for the heart of Japan's inner defence ring - starting with Saipan in the Marianas. Saipan is the largest and most distant island invaded by the Americans so far - an unprecedented logistical challenge. Japan employs more ingenious defensive tactics and sends their navy into the fray with the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Americans prevail in Saipan, but not without spending more time and blood than expected - and overcoming a Marine vs Army rivalry that threatens to divide the fighting force.
