Arsenal: EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler in Carrier-Based Electronic Warfare, Vietnam to the 21st Century follows the Navy and Marine Corps electronic attack lineage from the skies over North Vietnam to Desert Storm, Libya, and today’s contested airspace. Listeners hear how these aircraft fought enemy radars and missiles in action, the problem they were built to solve, how designers turned an attack bomber and a strike fighter into jamming platforms, and what life was like for the pilots, electronic warfare officers, and maintainers who kept them flying. The episode traces their combat record, variants, and lasting legacy. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.

Headline Wednesday: Doolittle Raid, Second World War (Pacific Theater) traces the first American air strike on Japan’s home islands, from a crowded carrier deck in the western Pacific to the smoke drifting over Tokyo. This episode follows James Doolittle and his volunteer crews as they train B-25 medium bombers for a mission no manual had ever imagined, then ride Hornet and her escorts into waters thick with Japanese patrols. You will hear how an early contact with picket boats forces a risky long-range launch, how each bomber threads its way toward Tokyo and other cities, and how the raid’s physical damage pales beside its shock value.

This Week in U.S. Military History: February 24th, 2026–March 2nd, 2026 brings you from George Rogers Clark slogging through flooded frontier country at Vincennes to high-altitude firefights in Afghanistan’s Shah-i-Kot Valley. Along the way, you hear how a peacetime gunnery demonstration aboard USS Princeton turned to tragedy, how panic and flak filled the night sky over Los Angeles in early 1942, and how Allied aircrews in the Southwest Pacific learned to tear apart Japanese convoys in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea.

Across the hour, the story moves through Castle Bravo’s enormous nuclear blast at Bikini Atoll, the long grind of Operation Rolling Thunder over North Vietnam, the sweeping “left hook” of Desert Storm’s ground offensive, and the hard lessons of Operation Anaconda. You hear how each moment fits into its wider war, and how themes of adaptation, miscalculation, and endurance echo across generations.
