The Suicidal Torpedo Squadrons of Midway | The Sacrifice That Saved America in 1942

In June 1942, the Pacific was burning. As the Japanese fleet advanced toward Midway, a group of young U.S. Navy pilots —the torpedo bombers of Squadron VT-8— launched an attack knowing they would not return. With no fighter escort and facing more than 100 Zero fighters, they flew low over the sea to strike the enemy. None scored a hit… yet their sacrifice changed the course of the war. This animated historical documentary recreates, minute by minute, the battle that decided the fate of the Pacific. Witness how the actions of just 15 men opened the door to American victory, how the carriers Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, and Hiryū went up in flames, and why historians still call it one of the most heroic moments of World War II. Can total failure become decisive victory? Stay until the end and decide for yourself. #Midway #WWII #BattleOfMidway #NavalAviation #MilitaryHistory #WarDocumentary #AircraftCarriers
