Weapons at War - Naval
Aviation. History Channel. ASIN/0767021185
Extremely well researched history of naval
aviation. The documentary starts off appropriately with Orville & Wright
and the reluctance of the US Congress in 1910 to get into the aviation
business. Then it chronologically looks at th evarious battles. The first
big battle at Coral Sea in May 1942 showed that airpower was absolutely
critical in naval operations. The meat of the film is the fighting aircraft.
This one didn't disappoint. Good descriptions of the planes and their strengths
and weaknesses, often from actual former pilots. The producers chose the
F9F Panther to introduce the carrier jet age. The video ends with the F-14
TomCat.

U.S. News & World Report:
Carrier Victory (1992) ASIN/6302796741
America fights back with Carrier Victory.
Through spectacular full-colour footage and close-up personal accounts,
top flight pilots and sailors relate what it waas like to live, operate
and fight aboard these floating fortresses. The carrier was first mastered
by the Japanese in the devastating raid on Pearl Harbor. Then a shocked
American nation fought back with carrier advances--industrial and technological
improvements that bested the enemy at their own game. The narration does
a good job of telling the story of how American carrier task forces carried
the war across the sea to Japan's doorstep, and the real star of the production
is the engrossing colour footage of flaming aerial combat over the beautiful
blue Pacific.

Naval Aviators (1991) ASIN/6302505852
Landing a fighter plane on the pitching deck
of an aircraft carrier sailing at cruising speed in the ocean is considered
the most difficult task in all of aviation, and this documentary from U.S.
News underlines that point by noting that only a few thousand men and women
have ever qualified to do it. The elite role of naval aviators--fliers
who require exceptional skills beyond those needed by land-based fliers--is
explored in this video, which features profiles of specific fliers who
have played important roles in the development of their rarefied craft.
Incidents featured in this video include one of the earliest validations
of naval aviation, the role played by British carrier-based biplanes against
the massive German battleship Bismarck, as well as the exploits of legendary
Japanese Saburo Sakai. The American ace "Pappy" Boyington, of Black Sheep
Squadron fame, is chronicled, as are American pilots who braved intense
air defenses over Vietnam. The traditions of naval aviation, the development
of strategy, and the benefits of being able to deploy air power virtually
anywhere at any time are discussed through archival footage, interviews,
and the reminiscences of fliers themselves. This is both an entertaining
and informative look at a critical component of a modern military

Battlefield: The Battle
of Midway (1942) .
ASIN/6304493819
Pearl Harbor to Midway were decisive periods
in WW2 for the aircraft carrier. John Ford's 1942 short documentary on
the Battle of Midway. The story is that President Franklin Roosevelt insisted
that this documentary about the pivotal World War II battle in the Pacific
be made for the mothers of America. In this battle the torpedo squadrons
from three American aircraft carriers were all shot down by the Japanese,
without ever having one torpedo hit anything and only one man surviving.
In an incredibly lucky twist of fate, the torpedo planes had forced the
Zeroes providing air cover for the Japanese carriers down on the deck,
giving the American dive bombers a clear shot at their targets. John Ford
directed this 20 minute documentary, which is narrated by Donald Crisp
with Henry Fonda and Jane Darwell providing dialogue voices. Ford happened
to be on hand with a crew of naval photographers and was wounded during
the battle. The film covers the attack on Midway, including some aerial
footage, the search for survivors, and aftermath of the battle. Edited
in secret, the film was released just days after its completion.
