Johnston Atoll, Island of the Cold War
200520 Like and subscribe. This is an archive, check the link in the end if you are owner. Some 750 miles from Hawaii, tiny Johnston Atoll was developed into an airbase and seaplane base during the Second World War. After the war, the developed facilities on a remote base put Johnston at the center of Cold War programs from nuclear tests to spy satellites to storing leftover chemical weapons. The History Guy recalls the forgotten history of the world's most interesting wildlife preserve.
