Due to John Ford and his cameracrew, the Battle of Midway was one of the first naval battles to have been documented in a feature film. A lot of footage from this time gives us a great look at how the US Navy operated - but is it all from the actual battle?

In 1942 the Luftwaffe published a manual on how to engage and destroy submarines. Since Germany is usually remembered as a user of U-Boots, rather than being on the receiving end of them, this made me curious. Let's have a closer look!

The Battle of Midway went down in history as perhaps the most important victory of the US Navy in World War 2 - but beyond this success lies a tragic story of how a whole US carrier strike group collapsed within only a couple of hours.

Although successfully used in the Soviet Union and in the Mediterranean, the P-39's Airacobra reputation in the Southeast Pacific was poor. To explain this, we need to look at the context of its use in the area.
