Very interesting the way the japs are referred to as "the little people'. One would likely get into considerable trouble these days if those kind of terms were used in reference to race today, I think, due to bleeding-heart legislation. The WW2 propaganda element is most interesting from an historical perspective. A good clip.
One...never watch this video on full volume with your month old baby. Stupid fucking ww2 propaganda. And today Made in America is is crap...except Boeing.
japan copies everything, to this day. no innovation of their own. this is a good video. it shows the cruelty of a greedy imperial dictatorship power hungry to invade and kill anyone in their way. monsters. "they look to the skies for everything"... LOL they sure did in 1945 didnt they. and the crap stopped, didnt it. in less than a week, not 10+ years and counting like it takes these days.
@ goodclayaircraft ...no, french people dont need friends, they are adaptable with everybody ...they surrendered 1940 and paris was an open-city for the germans ...after WW2 berlin, tokyo, rome, london were in ruins! but paris was the only european capital not destroyed during the war>> very clever, these frenchies :-) ...cheers
@MrCuntPunch It is actually pretty dificult to find any caar actually fully made in the USA. Even back in the 1970s chrysler products were made in canada

Thought-provoking rhetorical artifact. Contains loads of significant discourse worthy of unpacking. Helpful in contextualizing U.S. imperialism in Asia as well as the current balance of power in the region.
While certainly this is a pretty hardcore piece of propaganda, I think bomberguy's intention here was to talk about the airplane, not political stuff. Please kindly take this kind of comment elsewhere. I believe someone has synced an audio file of a Noam Chomsky lecture to scenes from WWII in the Pacific and Viet Nam. That might be more appropriate for your discussion.

how much money was made? expensive machines...nice video... shame the US has to enter the war really due to that jap/harbour lie setup...shame real shame, still great video, cheers for shareing
One thing I was thinking of is.. why does the narrator say that it is a plane from the people if he isnt even telling the people the range, distance and bombload? That doesnt sound correct?
Yeah I guess. But come on, it was clear to almost everyone that the US will win the war sooner or later. I dont think it would have made any difference.
Secrecy was taken incredibly seriously at the time. If you look at the wartime newspapers, they're even pretty obscure about major campaigns. Stuff like performance figures was never mentioned. If one life could be saved by secrecy, it was considered worth it.
Fine piece of history... But you must realize that it's blown out of proportion(propaganda).
and that you shouldn't make judgments if you don't know the truth.

Not the most thoroughly objective documentary ever produced. Still, good viewing.

B-29 were air monsters to Japanese, they burned all cities of Japan during ww2.
Japan = Nazi Germany during WW2, because they united together. They wanted all peoples became their slaves !
