The last of eight programmes
The weather on the Falklands in the middle of June was bitterly cold. British troops waited in their foxholes and bunkers for the order to sweep down on to Port Stanley. There'd been a continuous military bombardment. As Brian Hanrahan reports, suddenly a white flag was seen waving over Port Stanley and Argentinian troops were retreating towards the town offering no resistance. It was obviously over.

A BBCtv News special

In 1976 the United States was celebrating 200 years of independence. Among the millions of visitors crowding into Philadelphia - the 'birthplace of the Nation' - were 2,500 members of the American Legion attending their annual convention. After a busy programme of convivial meetings these happy veterans went home - unaware that within a few days many of them would be dead, and many more fighting for their lives.
The 'Legionnaires' Disease led to one of the biggest - and most baffling - investigations in medical history. And just when the American investigators thought they had the whole case solved, startling new evidence turned up in a British hospital....
