For proof that those coming of age during World War II truly were America’s Greatest Generation, historians need look no further than right here in the Golden Isles.

And that is what an Atlanta-based documentary crew has done with “The Golden Isles at War,” a one-hour presentation that features local residents’ recollections of the community’s contributions to the war effort. The documentary chronicles in detail everything from the U.S. Navy’s SONAR school at the King and Prince hotel to the coastal observatory blimps that operated out of what is now the Brunswick-Golden Isles Airport and to the massive shipyards that arose in the port of Brunswick to build Liberty Ships.
