How One Commander's Crazy Idea Let 4 Wildcats Outsmart 12 Zeros They Couldn't Outfly

In 1942, four American F4F Wildcats faced twelve Mitsubishi Zeros high above the Pacific. Outnumbered, outclimbed, and out-turned, they were never supposed to win — until one commander changed air combat forever. Lieutenant Commander John Thach developed a revolutionary tactic called the Thach Weave, a genius weave of teamwork and timing that let Wildcats outsmart Zeros they could never outfly. What began as two crossed matchsticks became a blueprint that saved thousands of pilots across the Pacific War. At the Battle of Midway, four Wildcats used the Thach Weave to defeat twelve Zeros, proving that brains could beat speed and unity could overcome fear. This is the untold story of John Thach’s Genius Weave — the innovation that rewrote the skies of WWII and turned survival into strategy. From Kaneohe Bay to Midway Atoll, the Wildcat vs Zero duels became a symbol of how intelligence and courage shaped the outcome of the Pacific War. #ww2 #thachweave #wildcats #zero #pacificwar 👉 Explore more Fire Line documentaries: WW2 Secret Weapon That Made Japan Call Americans ‘Devil Eyes’    • WW2 Secret Weapon That Made Japan Call Ame...   The Sinking of IJN Akagi at the Battle of Midway – Pacific War 1942    • The Sinking of IJN Akagi at the Battle of ...   IJN Unryu – Japan’s Last Carrier Sunk in 7 Minutes 1944    • IJN Unryu – Japan’s Last Carrier Sunk in 7...   Kongō’s Final Hours — 1,200 Men Lost in the Formosa Strait    • Kongō’s Final Hours — 1,200 Men Lost in th...   Why Musashi’s 18 Inch Guns Were Completely Useless    • Why Musashi’s 18 Inch Guns Were Completely...   1 Torpedo, 1 Mistake — How Japan’s Carrier Taihō Lost 1,650 Sailors    • 1 Torpedo, 1 Mistake — How Japan’s Carrier...   4,000 Sailors Lost in 17 Minutes — The Surigao Strait Disaster 1944    • 4,000 Sailors Lost in 17 Minutes — The Sur...   11,000 Japanese Soldiers Lost in 4 Days — Fall of Kwajalein 1944    • 11,000 Japanese Soldiers Lost in 4 Days — ...   4,500 Japanese Lost & 50 Ships Sunk in 2 Days — Truk Lagoon 1944    • 4,500 Japanese Lost & 50 Ships Sunk in 2 D...   7,000 Japanese Lost in 15 Minutes — Lae Convoy Disaster 1943    • 7,000 Japanese Lost in 15 Minutes — Lae Co...
