It was one of the bloodiest and most costly battles of WWII. The battle of Okinawa. Author Steve Moore comes in to talk about his new book, “Rain of Steel” which tells the story of this battle from the perspective of Navy and Marine pilots whose job it was to combat Japan’s kamikaze pilots, protect the hundreds of ships off the coast and help advance our directive to take the strategic island of Okinawa.
