WWII was that tiny sliver of time where the dive bomber could exist. Before, the air frames wouldn't handle the stress. After, jets made them impractical. The Dauntless, the Val, and the Stuka were absolute marvels of engineering.

[WheresHerb]

Gotta respect those 18-25 year old kids back in those days.

[joebloggs]

I seem to recall the real attack being far more interesting; the dauntless squadron that launched the attack didn’t just bomb randomly, they aimed for the newly painted Ashai (rising sun emblem/flag) painted upon the decks. It provided such a fantastic aiming point they couldn’t miss.

[coogrfan]

CGI Akagi puts more flak into the sky than the entire Kido Butai could have managed in real life.

0:48
That jawline alone brought victory to the US and A

[maveric]

0:17 Seventy years later this Japanese naval officer who attacked Pearl Harbor would go on to fight aboard the emergency recomissioned US Navy Battleship BB-63 USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor to defeat an alien invasion.

[eugeneo]

That’s an absolute insane and unrealistic amount of flak. All of those planes would’ve been shredded to pieces.

[vladth]

So sad they couldn't make a movie akin to Tora Tora Tora without making everything exagerated. The real story was gut wrenching enough.

[yourtoastershandemover]

Even if the amount of AA and AAA is embellished the idea of flying headfirst into that storm and leaving yourself vulnerable to drop a bomb or two took some serious balls.

[hanzfranz]

This amount of flak would have shut down a bee out of the sky let alone three airplanes

[Helm-wq]

The great Hollywood director, John Ford was on Midway during the battle filming it.

[wcarcass]

Regardless of added cheese thanks to Hollywood retelling from the vantage perspective of a winner and all the CGI…. Oh boy!the absolute massive balls of steel that anyone had to have to do a dive bomber attack is unbelievable 😮

[benjjerman]

How brave do you need to be to dive on a ship firing everything it has at you? Astonishing 😮

[jenningsrozzell]

This was all done with the MK I Eyeball, Stick & Rudder. No GPS, laser or "slaved" ordnance guidence device. Brains, experience, intuition and big brass balls put the ordnance on target.

[CaptainColdyron]

Man I doubt the Japanese carriers threw up this much AA fire. The antiaircraft suites on their carriers at this point in the war were pretty weak.

[Temakyboi]

The fact that pilots actually dodged these bullets but there's too much FLAK GODDAMN IT

[ooztscc]

Pilots from those years were real steel balls guys. Damn! Anything they used to do was dangerous.

[standingstone]

Cheesy Hollywood war movie. With extra cheese

[sketchesinsand]

Dive bombing into a whole battle group of aa fire….okay I’m seriously impressed.

[phaasch]

According to the navigator calling the altitude, that Dauntless was diving slower than most people could run. Schlok.
