The 6 Minutes at Midway That Erased Japan's Four-Carrier Strike Force Forever

The 6 Minutes at Midway That Erased Japan's Four-Carrier Strike Force Forever tells the story of the decisive moments of the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. In just minutes, American SBD Dauntless dive bombers struck Kaga, Akagi, and Soryu, leaving three Japanese carriers burning, while Hiryu was destroyed later in the battle. The loss of Japan’s four-carrier striking force shattered the offensive power that had dominated the Pacific since Pearl Harbor. This WWII documentary explores the intelligence breakthroughs, reconnaissance failures, re-arming decisions, torpedo bomber attacks, and dive-bomber strikes that made Midway one of the most important naval battles in history.
