For decades, protection lagged far behind lethality on the battlefield. The only practical protection from bullets and dangerous flying objects was steel, but weight forced a tradeoff between protection and mobilit...

*James Holmes* *Leyte Gulf, Asia* Wresting the islands of Leyte and Luzon from Japan capped MacArthur’s island-hopping campaign. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Leyte was “the last great naval battle” of World War II.
