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.

In the late 1960s, the world faced a rebellion from its youth. The US baby boomers' protests against the Vietnam War spread to other countries including Japan. The reform movement Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia spurred demand for civil rights in communist countries.

Two charismatic revolutionary leaders also stimulated the youth rebellion: Cuba's Ernesto "Che" Guevara and China's Mao Zedong. This episode remembers the age when a storm of saying "NO" swept the world.

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. America is developing the B-29 bomber and hope the Marianas can become a forward airbase, but the B-29 is beset with problems and may not be ready in time.

Was the spirit of competition, the urge to go head-to-head, the sole reserve of men in the mid-20th Century? In the 1950s and 60s, two women joined the fray. Two women with a shared name: Jacqueline. One passion: aviation. One goal: to become the world's fastest woman. The American Jacqueline Cochran became the first woman to break the sound barrier at the controls of a Sabre F-86. But her record was soon snatched by Jacqueline Auriol, the daughter-in-law of the French president, who became the first European woman to break the sound barrier, and went on to become France's first woman test pilot. Using state-of-the-art CGI imagery to recreate their flying feats, this documentary retraces the history of these daring record attempts in the post-war period, with each triumph bringing prestige to their respective countries. Their extraordinary supersonic duel lasted 15 years, and saw both Jacquelines write their names in aviation history.
