“The Demon’s Zipper: How the B-25 Gunship Changed the Pacific War Forever”

October 26th, 1943 — over the deadly waters of the Bismarck Sea, a single bomber nicknamed “Ghost” emerged from the clouds carrying a weapon that would change naval warfare forever. This is the untold story of the B-25 Iron Eight Gunship, the flying fortress that shattered Japan’s convoy defenses and rewrote the rules of aerial combat.

When the Imperial Japanese Navy perfected its “shrapnel dome” defense — a near-impenetrable wall of anti-aircraft fire — Allied forces faced impossible odds. But one radical redesign of the B-25 Mitchell bomber turned defeat into dominance. Equipped with eight forward-firing .50-caliber guns, these modified aircraft unleashed storms of firepower that broke the back of Japan’s naval strategy.

From the secret engineering workshops of Northern Australia to the desperate final battles of the Pacific, witness how courage, innovation, and industrial power forged one of the most terrifying weapons of World War II.

This documentary explores:

The creation of the Iron Eight Gunship and its revolutionary nose-gun design.

The collapse of Japan’s convoy defense doctrine under Admiral Nishimura.

The psychological warfare unleashed by the “Demon’s Zipper.”

How the B-25 inspired modern close-air support aircraft like the AC-130.

Prepare for a cinematic retelling of one of WWII’s most overlooked turning points — where technology and tactics converged to alter the course of history.
