Battle Of Midway: The True Story
1 x 60’, 2019, 4K
It was the battle that changed the face of warfare and made victory in the Pacific possible. Only 6 months after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy attacks the last remaining forces of the US Navy. The Battle of Midway was one of the largest naval engagements of WWII. It was the first battle in which the ships were literally too far apart to see each other – and where control of the air determined control of the sea. See the story of a vital turning point of WWII through archival footage, interviews with historians and experts, and demonstrations of the aircraft and weapons. The Battle of Midway determines the future of WWII – and the future of naval warfare. Instead of massive dreadnoughts hounding each other with artillery, the Battle of Midway proves that warfare will now take place in the skies. By the end of the battle, the Japanese navy is in tatters... and America begins its long struggle to victory in the Pacific.
The early half of the 20th century was an era of great power, leadership, and transformation for Britain. The British Empire controlled over a quarter of the earth’s land, the Royal Family struggled to re-brand itself in order to save the monarchy, and Winston Churchill boosted morale and resolve in the nation’s deepest moment of need. Using cutting-edge digital technology, witness the dramatic stories of kings, queens, colonists, and a maverick prime minister, presented entirely in colour.
