SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS UPDATED WEEKLY Just after midnight on 4 June, Admiral Nimitz, based on patrol plane reports, advised Task Forces 16 and 17 of the course and speed of the Japanese “main body,” also noting their distance of 574 miles from Midway. Shortly after dawn, a patrol plane spotted two Japanese carriers and their escorts, reporting “Many planes heading Midway from 320 degrees distant 150 miles!” The first attack on 4 June, however, took place when the four night …

The Japanese navy was powerful, but it was destroyed here.
no,the Americans had Battlefield experince they fought a lot of small wars during the 1930′s and 1920′s but that was mostly Marine Forces
O i remember i’ve watched this show with dad
Most documentaries (and the Midway movie) use film of aircraft from later battles. Still photos are scarce too. Everyone was too busy to take pictures.
Yeah the Imperial Japanese Navy was very powerful. The United States was very fortunate their carriers weren’t in Pearl Harbour and did an excellent job in breaking the Japanese code. After this battle, the American war machine went into overdrive and Japanese couldn’t keep up with manufacturing and training as the Americans did.
at 6:00 you can see a modern fighter-pilot with his mask!
if you’re interested, go read “Semper Fi In The Sky: The Marine Battles of World War Two” by gerald astor. it talks about the history of american aviation, including the battle of midway.
the midway battle happened in the early stages of ww2. at the time, the american forces didnt believe that the japanese forces had that strong a weaponry. also, the americans lacked battlefield experience.
japanese out number americans 2/1
I didn’t know that the Japanese has a enough firepower to compete with Amaricans not until I have watched the midway battle
At 5:30/5:31, you’d think the USAAF was flying Sopwith Camels!
I wonder what kind of plane that actually is – or was?
The naval aviators at Midway were incredibly brave, both American and Japanese. The way they flew into almost certain death with such discipline is hard to imagine. Most of us live such “safe” lives…
Yeah I’m glad the Americans won. Or else, Korea would still be under the bootheels of the Emperor.
The work of the codebreakers to find out exactly what the Japanese fleet was targeting was amazing!
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m doing a project on this battle. It looks like a good battle, and it is good that the Americans won.
My favorite Battle of WWII
I love this story. The Americans won, although out numbered and out gunned, by intelligence, grit and a fair amount of luck
5/5 as always
Thanks! Great video.
