About this audio guide
This guide to the Intrepid Museum in New York City puts you on the flight deck on November 25, 1944, as the first kamikaze begins its dive into the ship somewhere in the Pacific. Fighter director Bill Daniels ran toward the fires instead of the lifeboats, pulling sailors from smoke-filled corridors below. Sixty-nine of his shipmates did not make it home that day, a fact worth sitting with as you walk this deck.
