Four days after the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, American airmen are flying the last and longest bombing mission of the war.

In a development not anticipated by generals or world leaders - the Last Mission and the coup d'etat converge, helping to bring an end to the most destructive war the world has ever known.
