What's on this DVD:BATTLE OF MIDWAY

The battle of Midway was the most important victory of the war, and possibly of the 20th century as well. The US Navy should have never won this battle because of the incredible size difference between the 2 Navy’s. The 2nd film is a technical film that really shows what a difference there was. Also, timing played a lucky part in this story when the US Navy stumbled upon the Japanese carriers that were loaded with planes, bombs, and gasoline to launch their aircraft to attack the US Fleet. Prior that day, almost all of the attacking US Planes were shot down, and all of the USAAF's bombers missed the entire Japanese fleet. All looked like another massive victory for the Japanese. That was until Bill McClusky's Squadron of SBD dive bombers struck. Within 10 minutes, 3 of the Japanese carriers were damaged and destroyed. Later that day, the 4th carrier was destroyed. Amazing!
