Listen "The Navajo Code Talkers and the Arizona Balloon Buster"
Episode Synopsis
Several years ago, there was a Nicholas Cage movie out about a group of men who had a dramatic impact on the course of the Pacific Theater during the second World War. Unfortunately, Windtalkers, focused on Nicholas Cage’s character, rather than on the actual heroes, the Navajo Code Talkers who deserved to be the central point of the film. Today, I will discuss some of the heroes of the Pacific Theater—the real “Code Talkers.”
