If a picture is worth a thousand words, a good animation is worth ten thousand. After reading book after book about the Pacific War and finding only complicated maps with dotted lines and dashed lines crisscrossing the pages, we decided to depict the key naval and land battles using animation technology. Recent Note from a teacher in France: "This is just what I needed to clearly show the Pacific theatre to my students, as an introduction to what they will produce in a geopolitics school project." Animations have been requested for use at the new Pacific Aviation Museum's student education project at Peal Harbo, Hawaii. Used for historical training by the largest US Naval Maintenance division. Part of the curriculum at the University of Singapore. While the animation helps readers view a broader picture of the battles showing the inter-relationships of the opponents in time and space more clearly, it is limited in the detail that can be shown. While accuracy has been attempted, at times the picture of the battles must be simplified to make the battle as clear as possible. We expect to continue developing new animations every few weeks until all of the key battles of the Pacific War have been animated. We are not attempting to reinterpret history, but merely to depict it as the best military historians have written it. Why Register? 1) You can submit links to the site. They will be reviewed by the web master first. 2) You will be notified when new animations are created. 3) All of the animations are available for download in the registered users section. 3) Your contact info will NEVER be used for anything else.... |
