My Grandparents' War - Season 1, Episode 4

About This Episode

Carey Mulligan’s grandfather, Denzil Booth, a teenager from the Welsh Valleys, traveled thousands of miles to fight the Japanese military in the final months of the war. Mulligan discovers his university education meant Booth was fast-tracked to be a junior officer in the Navy. On board Britain’s biggest warship—the first ever attacked by a Japanese kamikaze aircraft—he lost his closest friends. Mulligan travels to Japan to understand the Japanese military strategy of the era. She’s shocked by the ages of the pilots and the horrors her grandfather faced when he arrived in Tokyo.
