Watching this video brings back old memories....I remember that many years ago when I watched for the first time the movie TORA - TORA - TORA on the big screen in the movie theater after I gotten home I fall asleep and I had a dream ....in that dream I was on the Akagi deck and witnessed Minoru Genda ( Tatsuya Mihashi ) landing and talking to Mitsuo Fuchida ( Takahiro Tamura ) ...unforgettable....thanks to the restoration crew ,sponsors ... to all people who made possible the return to the sky of this beautiful bird . BANZAI !!! BANZAI !!! BANZAI !!!

I remember seeing an unedited version of "Tora, Tora, Tora" in the 70's where Admiral Yamamoto admonishes his senior officers not to underestimate the American opponents as being 'lazy and mentally shallow.'.....That America is a sleeping giant capable of awakening with a terrible angry resolve. I believe the stark direct first passage has been removed from all subsequent release versions.

@@georgehunter2813 Hi Hunter - that's the reason why I own an original 1970 theatrical version 155 minute long .... released somewhere in the early 2000 and restored ( not shortened ) in DVD quality.... indeed then was a different world.....even after all of those years looking at it today on the plasma TV in HD is still looking impressive. Eternal thanks to the american- japenese directorial team , the actor ,pilots , technical team , the US NAVY and 20 Century Fox who made this epic movie possible.
She has found a new home at the Fagan Fighter Museum in Granite Falls, MN. She will be taken care of there. I live close by to the airfield. I will see her soon. And she will still fly.
