A Japanese Ace Was Shocked When American Pilots Used the Thach Weave And Turned Defense Into Attack

In June 1942, at the height of the Pacific War, Japan’s top ace Saburo Sakai thought he was about to score an easy kill—until two F4F Wildcats did the impossible. They turned defense into attack using a brand-new maneuver no one had ever seen before: the Thach Weave. This is the untold story of how U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander John Thach, armed only with matchsticks and a kitchen table, rewrote the rules of aerial combat. Facing the deadly Mitsubishi A6M Zero, out-turned, out-climbed, and out-ranged, American pilots were being destroyed four-to-one. Then Thach’s revolutionary tactic changed everything. 👉 Watch till the end for a surprising connection between the Thach Weave and modern jet-combat doctrine. #WW2 #ThachWeave #PacificWar #NavalAviation #F4FWildcat #SaburoSakai #BattleOfMidway #WW2Tales
