Doing my small part for the algorithm.
Thank you for another episode.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 7 of battle of midway from Japanese Perspective , Image used in this video is of Sōryū, which was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the mid-1930s.Sōryū and three other carriers of the 1st Air Fleet (Kidō Butai) participated in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. After bombarding American forces on Midway Atoll, the carriers were attacked by aircraft from the island and the carriers Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown. Dive bombers from Yorktown crippled Sōryū and set her afire. Japanese destroyers rescued the survivors but the ship could not be salvaged and was ordered to be scuttled so as to allow her attendant destroyers to be released for further operations. She sank with the loss of 711 officers and enlisted men of the 1,103 aboard. The loss of Sōryū and three other IJN carriers at Midway was a crucial strategic defeat for Japan and contributed significantly to the Allies' ultimate victory in the Pacific.

Enclosing the Hanger bay must have been a fire hazard. All those flammable vapors must have lingered and became noxious. Thank you for explaining the vastly different methods of the IJN. Not better or worse, just different.
Thank you❤
AMERICA IS A FAILED NATION.
EVIL WON WW2
Positive comment.
I'm relatively childish, because I keep chuckling at "Hear-You and Saw-You."
Thank you! I spent 12 years of my life as an aircraft mechanic in the US Navy, I can see and smell and feel walking on the hangar deck. I can see drop tanks in the overhead.
Midway, when the Japanese ships hit the sandbar of reality.
Interesting. Must say the commentary does seem to be getting better but for 'one thousand' as a time read 'ten hundred'.
I was never in the military. My dad was in the occupation forces in Japan. I know this is boring but people seem to want to tell their story.or someone elses😂

Americans developed mini tractors to tow the planes some of the time hand pushing still happening but a little towing did wonders.
This is from Parshall and Tully's excellent "Shattered Sword". Well worth picking up to read.
91 octane for starting up. O.K. then what octane did they use for flight?
The Japanese navy and pilots were very well trained and professional.Thank god we broke their code and were superior in intelligence
If you posted more my day would be so much better…
At 1:53-55. How do you "unroll' a metal hose?
The Royal Navy aircraft carriers had Armoured flight decks 3" thick with 4.5" on the sides.
Makes you think again as to how many aircraft they could carry.
Thank you America you were "late" but we would have been in dire straights without you.

I Heard Early in the War They Didn't Have Radar?
