Battle of Midway

[wheelsup_cavu]

First I have a period video that was done less than ten years after the battle.

Part One of a Naval Training film from 1950 based upon the 1948 document "NAVPERS 91067, The Battle of Midway Including the Aleutian Phase, June 3 to June 14, 1942: Strategical and Tactical Analysis by Richard W Bates" (later Rear Admiral Bates) at the Naval War college.

I have never been able to find part two of this training film.

Warning!!
Period prejudices towards the Japanese are still very much evident in this 1950 program.

Now a more recent retelling of the story by Montemayor. I am not exaggerating when I say that in my opinion his videos rival several commercial documentaries that have been professionally done. I thought I had posted Montemayor's video on Midway from the Japanese perspective here last year but I must have forgotten.

After an almost 15 month delay Part Two, which is now Parts Two and Three, of the Midway Battle are out.

Montemayor has several other really good documentaries at his YouTube channel.

Funny you should post this now, I watched Montemayor's documentaries two days ago. His work is exceptional, these videos are true gems.

Those Montemayor videos are legendary.  I love the ones on the Coral Sea and Guadalcanal.
