The Fall of Singapore on February 15, 1942 was described by Churchill as the "worst disaster" in British military history, but little is known of the Singaporean servicemen who fought for the Allies in WWII. This film tells the incredible untold stories of four courageous Singaporeans fighting across continents, forgotten from history, until now.

Tracking their heroics from the blood-soaked beaches of Northern France to the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, from the violent skies over southern China to the brutalities of a Japanese POW camp in Java, this history special features an interview with one of the world’s last remaining “Flying Tigers” pilots, along with moving testimonies from the veterans’ families and leading WWII experts.
