ORIGINAL: Canoerebel Intrepid cameraman catches War-of-the-Worlds style attack on Midway. [image]local://upfiles/8143/8A701CCB9BD34DD998175E3F35FDF271.jpg[/image] There was a Hollywood director on Midway filming the attack (Capra? Ford?) although he was in his own foxhole, not out in the middle of strafing planes. The mob attack by the aircraft is what disgusts me. The Japanese squadrons that attacked Force Z kept perfect formation despite heavy AA fire, and there is no reason to assume the IJN pilots would break formation discipline. Our Zeroes will blot out the sun! Not much of a defensible revetment, is it? They only have a thin single row of sandbags on one corner of the ocean-facing side? No overhead cover? No rear cover to protect them from shrapnel behind them? And they only have two feet of sandbag height on that one corner? In June 1942? On Midway? Right....[8|] Unlike the earth quake like video you often see on the local news, at least the camera dude is using his tripod for steady film. Camera man: "I shall wear this plot armor proudly, with the knowledge, that no Anti-Plot Armor rounds are developed yet."
