Episode 3: Blackbeard and The Flying Gang
In 1717, the pirate known as Blackbeard launched an attack along the Atlantic seaboard, disrupting international trade and striking terror into sea captains and colonial governors.

Soon, he would find himself in a pitched battle against a secret military force sent by the governor of Virginia - and in a race for his life.
