Even though it was tactically pointless (the Japs called it the Doo-nothing raid) it still rattled their cage. The battle of Midway was their response to this, in an effort to draw out and destroy the remaining U.S. carriers. And that turned into an epic IJN fail.
The pilots of the bombers are kinda stupid, have half the bombers bomb the city limits and the other half bomb the jap aniti air defences then they would not be shot down
Apparently Doolittle and the other crews had no problem taking off on the carrier, they had a 60+knot headwind with the speed of the carrier and the wind, so not that much speed was needed to get airborne but then that wouldn't make for good dramatic scene ;)
This is what I don't get about this Pearl Harbor movie. Michael Bay goes to great lengths to make this film look as authentic as possible yet for whatever reason he didn't use CGI or whatever to better disguise that the carrier they're on is a modern supercarrier rather than the WWII Hornet.
Was it not possible for them to do that? Or were they just lazy and thought people wouldn't notice or something? I don't get it.
i bought the special edition of this film today and only cost me £8, but i love this film is bleemin excellent probally one of my favourite films and im only 13 !! lol its got every thing !
The bombing of Tokyo depicted in this video killed more innocent people than Hiroshima atomic bombing. I hate war movies that make heroes out of war. Thats why I love Band of Brother, Iwo Jima or The Thin Red Line, because it tells of the psychological effects on soldier's hearts.
you can hate our government but never insult our soldiers i would never dream of making a such a statement about any one who served american or not and the so called arrogant murderers are the ones that allow you to make dumbass statements like that when we saved your ass in WW2
Well it was war and we play for keeps as cocky as that sound its true and the Japanese fought hard, I consider them to be the most formidable foes of the Axis but then again they're higher ups were very despicable, Like the raping of Naking and the most evil thing in WW2 the damn Unit 731 makes the Germans seem like bunch of kind humanitarians. Gen.Kuriabiashi in my opinion was one of the most Honorable and toughest foe we ever fought right beside Rommel who was also Honorable to the core.
Doolittle and most of the Americans were rescued by Chinese civilians who hid them from the Japanese. Only one air crew was captured by the Japanese and another landed in Russia, who them locked the crew up for the rest of the war. The Russians were suppose to be our allies. The Japanese were very upset with the Chinese civilians because, they saved most of the Americans. The Japs then went on a killing spreed and murdered 250,000. Chinese civilians.
Well what choice did Hollywood have? Didnt want to end it after the Pearl Harbor attack and feel like the movie was just a big loss for the Americans.. and couldnt introduce a whole new cast of characters for the raid ya know? lol.
in real life a partrol craft did get to withen 300 yeards but atfers thought they where japs carries so where confussed as fuck as to what was going on lol japs are not smart ya know lol
No, in real life the Cruiser screen visually sited a Japanese picket ship 20 or so miles out and sunk it.
For a patrol ship to get within 300 yards of the Carriers without being detected would mean they have sailed right past all the cruisers and gotten so close to the carriers you probably wouldn't be able to SEE THEM from the flight deck!
when the americans came in for japan it war over becasue we we fighting germans and japs ad cooping and americans had more weapons tanks planes and soliders
Hate to play the controversial one, tutt4, but I don't agree that the unknown amount of causalities deserved to die in Japan. Two leading forces fight a war, and send their "lackeys" out to commit their dirty work as they sip whiskey safely behind their desk. It's always the innocent that gets the results. Way to be ignorant.
They screwd with us we gave them the full force of a gaints wrath..remember those who died that day and remember the heroes who fought there way in the philipeans who held out long against over welming odds..and the liberation of the philipeans..the japs got what they deservd in my opinion...a harbor you take from us..two citys we take from you!
I agree with remembering the people that died but... in the Phillipines the Phillipean army and the US Army were comprehensively defeated in the Battle of the Phillipines with over 50,000 Americans being taken prisoner.
Also don't talk like you did the fighting, you didn't do shit. They fought for your freedom, so don't say 'we'.
Americans fought and died fighting for the Phillipines we could have ditched when things looked bad but guess what you git..We stayed we died we lost more men after they surrenderd The Phillipean army helped more then we did them i accept that but dont ever say we did'nt fight and die for our allies.
A British person should know the horror all of the allied countrys endured in the second great war..My grandfathers both of them fought neather died they fought my mothers dad served in two wars after that..Try that ya limey git..Oh ya i suppose you also say the Seven hundred and twenty men that stood at winza for three days against fourty thousand nazis did'nt happen too huh?
