    Nova [#3701H] Killer Subs In Pearl Harbor Nova joins an exclusive dive beneath the waters of Pearl Harbor to trace new clues to the historic sinking of the USS Arizona. 1177 crew members perished in the dramatic 1941 sinking of the storied battleship-the greatest loss of life in US naval history. For decades, it has been thought that the Arizona was brought down by fire from Japanese aircraft. But the discovery of a Japanese "midget sub" displaced from the scene of the battle raises new questions about the Arizona's final hours. Severed into three pieces and dropped in 1200-foot deep water outside of the harbor, the sub matches four other experimental vessels discovered in shallower water closer to the harbor entrance. All were equipped with a pair of torpedoes - but only the torpedoes of the fifth sub are still missing, apparently fired at an unknown target. What was the submarine's mission? Why was it laid to rest so far from the harbor? What was the fate of its two-man crew? With unprecedented access to the Arizona wreckage, Nova teams up with the Hawaii Undersea Research Lab to use manned deep submersibles in an attempt to resurrect the fifth midget submarine. duration 55:16   STEREO TVPG (Secondary audio: DVI)

    Nova [#3418Z] Missing In MiG Alley In 1950, Russian and American fighters clashed over Korea in one of the fastest dogfights ever seen. This was the world's first jet war, pitting the two most advanced planes of their day, the American F-86 Sabre and the Soviet MIG-15, in furious air battles that pushed their pilots' skills to the limit. The epicenter of the air campaign was MIG Alley, a strip of airspace between the Korean-Chinese border. Flying higher and faster then ever before, American and British pilots had little idea of the hidden dangers that awaited them if they were shot down. The program follows the poignant and sometimes harrowing efforts of family members to trace what happened to pilots who disappeared more then a half-century ago. duration 54:09   STEREO TVPG (Secondary audio: DVI)
