Discover the chilling true story of the lost Tybee Island nuclear bomb and explore the legendary history of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. We are diving deep into Savannah, Georgia's military history, uncovering B-47 "Broken Arrow" mysteries and the incredible sacrifices of WWII aviation crews.

From sleepless nights to the ghosts of the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, this episode connects centuries of conflict on the Georgia coast. Learn how Savannah built an aerial armada, launched Liberty ships by the dozens, and survived the terrifying prowl of German U-boats right off the American shore. Then, we shift to the Cold War, tracing the flight path of a B-47 Stratojet that accidentally dropped a 7,600-pound Mark 15 nuclear weapon into Wassaw Sound in 1958—a weapon that has never been found.

Whether it's the daredevil genius of Jimmy Doolittle, the marketing myth of the Memphis Belle, or the Pentagon's terrifying vocabulary for nuclear disasters, this deep dive proves that history isn't just in the past—it's buried right off the beach.
