Title: Requesting Midway film
Post by: Ponyace on November 17, 2008, 08:56:42 PM

Hey, I am putting together a documentary about the Battle of Midway. I will be needing a lot of film because I am kinda lacking on that end. If anyone could please post their film here, I would greatly appreciate it. What I need are:
Midway attack
TBMs (alone) getting attacked by zekes,
Full Strike force of F4f-4s, TBMs, and SBDs attacking a carrier,
SBDs sinking a carrier,
Finally, Japanese strike package of B5Ns, D3As, and A6Ms attacking and sinking a carrier

If you have ANY footage from the FSO, even if it does not fit in these categories, It would be great if you posted it here.
Thank You  :salute

Darn, I was hoping you'd want film of SBD's attacking a Japanese cv without any fighter cover whatsoever. ;)

Hey, that would work.  :aok
Honestly, doesnt matter what it is, as long as its USN vs. IJN in 1942. The list I posted are for film I know I could use, but anything you could post I could probably make work.

Thanks for the film, Flatiron. It is almost EXACTLY what I need, but if anyone else has film, especially the attack by the IJN on Midway or U.S. Fleet, please post here.

Ok, movie is coming along well. however, would like film of Midway being attacked, TBMs trying to get hits on a carrier, and Japanese Aircraft sinking a carrier. If you could post or pm me, would be useful. Also, thanks Anaxogoras for the film. Great flying in it. :aok
