Looks like another Band of Brothers, can't wait to see it.
My grandfather served in the Pacific, I still have his M1 Carbine. I remember him talking about the landing craft, they took the governor off the motor so it would scream, just short of exploding...every extra knot to get to the beach faster since they were hot. They also wanted more power in reverse so they could get off the beach faster, since a stuck landing craft was a good target.
