As a retired P3 aircrewman I enjoy seeing my squadrons roots!

[@dormanchasteen8730]

my father was a Marine pilot in WWII (224). Flew SBD, TBF, and SB2C in combat.

[@jeffreywilliams144]

It was my understanding that Marine Corps Aviators were the first to prove the value of the dive bomber.

He was a true war hero, sir

I thought this was from October of 1941

[@nealskrenes2612]

I believe the sailor on the right hand side of the screen at 2:07 is Alan Ladd.

At 8.57, '...the torpedo bomber, ...one of the deadliest weapons...'. At the Great Naval victory in the battle of Midway, not so much! Yall Take Care and be safe, John

Nobody cares

[@lucaslagiglia]

My great grandfather worked on this newsreel in September of 1941. To think that a number of these ships were later destroyed during the attack on Pearl Harbor just a couple of months later is eerie…

[@danieldesimonedanny1827]

My dad crewed on PBY Catalina anti sub in the south Atlantic. Dads dead 40+ years. He never talked about it.

[@JeffGR4]

Cool stuff, narrated by the one and only Westbrook Van Voorhis.

[@normfreilinger5655]

Any relationship to ‘’Jason’’. ?

Great Video ! Thanks for sharing !

Goes to show the media hasn't changed; never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Thanks for the download

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

Good one!

[@markrobinson1135]

First airplane they showed was a PB-M My dad flew in those was a radio man World War II in the Philippines

[@johnmartin1114]

Anyone who wishes to learn early US Naval history try and find the book from jackrabbits to Jets an aviation history of North Island

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

Well I can say that at Midway almost every TBD you saw on this video was destroyed.

[@TowGunner]

They never stood a chance. The Devastator was obsolete by 1939 and the Mark 14 torpedo was heavily flawed.

[@davidroby7290]

Thank God for their sacrifice Their action set up the dive bombers that won the day

[@boskonian]

Wide shots of one, two, and three aircraft carriers without support vessels. They would end up being sunk targets without many more antiaircraft platforms.

[@kathynoyes4324]

Mine, naval Aviator 1935-1964 he flew everything including atomic bomb bombers that he landed on carriers

[@steveb6103]

The Langley was not the first carrier! The British had 1 first.

[@peterk2455]

HMS Ark Royal in 1914, HMS Furious the 1st with full deck built in 1915, also 1st to launch carrier based raid in WWI

[@chopchop7938]

@@peterk2455 American show talking about American's. The American's were the first to take off and land on a ship. That technically means the ship that first flight happened from could be called an carrier. Everyone else around the world stole this idea from the American's, same as the dive bomber. The first landing used a tail hook for the first time in history, landing assistance guy with the paddles, another American invention stolen by other countries. God blessed America!

[@SamSurplusSales]

Dumb as they are talking about the first us carrier.

[@steveb6103]

@@SamSurplusSales Clean your ears he clearly says the world's first carrier! Witch is wrong.

[@mitchberg8229]

They called the Langley the first aircraft carrier. That was just completely untrue. First full deck carrier built for landing aboard was HMS Argus.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

I would have to disagree. The Japanese did act upon this the same time as the US Navy did at the same time. Too bad the Japanese did act upon this with the British attacking the Italians in Toranto Naval Base as their ideal attack on Pearl Harbor Hawaii.

...then later on NCC-1701!

[@midgettjoseph3954]

Do you have a film called the Deep Cold War at Sea? BBC played it in the 1970's

[@619sdbdub]

Interesting....this segment goes all the way back to pre-WW1 but never mentions the AirShips (Lighter than Air)/hull designation that starts with "Z".

[@paulojosecarvalho1127]

This flick anticipates war with Japan. Hmmm.

One needs to almost disregard the narrator in some of these films, because you KNOW some of it is just bs PROPAGANDA! They really couldn't tell the truth in the films made DURING the war, at least not the ones for PUBLIC release. Training films were more accurate, because they were NOT shown to the public.

[@craigpennington1251]

This is good but way over produced. That HORRIBLE MUSIC needs to be trashed.
