A new one hour show on late night Public Television.

Privately funded by family of one SeeBee veteran.

Good, but slightly jumps around with less than smooth flow.

More accurate title might be
“World War II rapid build up of the SeeBees,
their admirable work in bad weather wherein old guys educated newbies,
how they stole food and equipment from Army supply lines,
and how Iwo Jima was so long and bloody due to Japanese tunnel construction.

Just short commentary about Okinawa’s challenges.

I'll have to watch that. My dad was a Navy See-Bee on Gaum at the end of the war.

Thanks!! My Pap was a SeaBee in WWII. Was on 3 different islands. I did a stint in the Bees in the reserves in his memory.
