  • i really liked the how the two f-4's go into a scissor 8 pattern from 9:40-9:55..text book example of the maneuvers they utilized to down the faster zero's!!! my hats off to u...awesome 3-d animation!!!

  • @Killerplanes san,

    I believe this is all done by Mr. Tochibayashi alone, who also made film for Zero. This is one of the "War" series published by Futaba Publishing. These films are in DVD and come with each series (I only have the Zero issue). The title of this issue is "Japan-U.S Aircraft Carrier Duel".

  • Gotta brush up on my kana and kanji...

  • very nicely done.

  • nice video but it would be better if it was with english or greek subtitles

  • @olentangy74 san,

    As you can see, someone else volunteered therefore I retire. I'll have an easy, relaxed weekend.

  • Also, the 1st wave from Syokaku, Zuikaku, and Zuiho were now 46 miles from the US fleet.

    Major, 2 o'clock, there's movement.

    Must be US atttackers.

    Report to Shokaku, that many enemies on their way to you. Make sure look sharp.

    Zuikaku's fighters handle them.

    "Enterprise 10th fighter squardron"

    Still able to fly? Now's time to try WEAVE.

  • Send ours in immeadiately.

    If we wait for Zuikaku any longer, it will be Midway all over again.

    Both sides spotted each other almost at the same time, also sent out attackers respectively.

    IJN task force and advance fleet, to which Junyo belong, were aiming for a pincer attack to destroy the US fleet.

    The advance fleet was steaming for east, to get close to the enemy.

    0825 a.m.

    The task force's vanguard also headed for east by Nagumo's order.

    0914 a.m.

    Junyo's first wave launced.
