In the waning days of World War II, the Japanese floated 10,000 giant balloons - filled with hydrogen and explosives - across the Pacific and into North America. Author Liam Callanan looks at this real-life terror campaign, and why it remains a secret chapter in WWII history.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
