When Japan declared war on the United States in 1941, Japan’s opening gambit – Admiral Nagumo’s air strike on Pearl Harbour – established the aircraft carriers as the ultimate weapon of naval warfare. In a daring revenge missions, America’s James Doolittle hit back at the heart of Tokyo with a handful of carrier-based bombers before Nagumo met his match in US commander Chester Nimitz at Midway. The carrier’s development is traced from World War 2 through Korea and Vietnam to the Falklands, where a combination of vertical take-off strike planes, helicopters and missile systems proved the modern carrier still reigned supreme.

Great video about life aboard and aircraft carrier
Great video about life aboard an aircraft carrier. What makes this even more likeable is that the ship they filmed it on, the USS Independence (CV-62), was the ship I spent a good deal of time aboard. The video is accurate and loaded with facts.

Nova: Aircraft Carrier (VHS)
Of the multiple items I purchased this was the only VHS item. Be that as it may, a product should be in good working order when sold. The video was played only once by my husband, because during rewind, the tape tangled in our machine. I have no problems with other videos we still have and play in our home. I can only assume the product was defective before it was sold to us.

BEAU DVD SUR LES PORTES AVIONS DE L US NAVY PENDANT LA WWII
TEMPRAMENTAL –
As usual. All about the Pacific war. No one else had aircraft carriers other than the Japanese. .
G. C. Hulme –
If you require a broad overview of Japanese carrier actions in WWII than this DVD will be of some use. 45 minutes of the 57 minute running time is devoted entirely to this. If you want the story of aircraft carriers then this DVD is best avoided.
