“Invasion Home Front! Piccadilly to Pasadena” explores how Americans rose up to protect our home fronts during World War Two. After the shock of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans along the West Coast feared a similar attack could be launched on Seattle, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. In the early morning hours of February 25th, 1942, Americans were shaken out of their beds by the roaring moans of Air Raid Sirens and the blasts of Anti-Aircraft Guns firing into the night sky over the city of Los Angeles. Panicked citizens went out into the streets to see the war that had finally come to the shores of the continental United States. Learning from the successes our British Cousins who successfully held back the invading Germans in the Battle of Britain, Americans across our country volunteered in the millions to protect our shores, skies, and neighbors from the threats of the enemy. Join Rebecca Tulloch as she shares the story of common American and British citizens taking on uncommon roles to protect our Home Fronts from the threats of enemy invasion from Piccadilly to Pasadena.
