Summary: Pacific Firepower is typical of the hundreds of news pieces produced in WWII for civilian audiences. Usually shown by theaters before the main feature, these pieces were designed to educate the public about the progress of the war, as well as buoy the spirit of the American people, which was flagging by 1944. Unedited, the piece has the usual audio wind-up at the start, and appears and sounds here much like it would have originally.
