Imagine what the air battle over the Philippines would have been like, if thanks to MacArthur’s genius most US planes hadn’t been caught on the ground refueling.
Wake is not truck.
Not Wake, Truk.
How are the zeros above at 7 o’clock?
Truk atoll is not Wake island Wake Island is where the thatch maneuver was invented
Wake Island is 1,300 miles north of Truk and is west of Midway. This is the battle of Truk, Operation Hailstone, where the American navy obliterated Truk, sank everything in sight, and rendered it mostly useless the rest of the way. U.S. bombers then used it for bombing practice to prepare to attack the Marianas.
Why does the title say “Wake Island”?
Why must you cover the buttox- treatment area during massage if you are in matrimony or the client is in matrimony. Because of arousal.
That’s Chuuk Atoll, BTW.
This is about the attack on Truk, not Wake.
Vraciu — Romanian last name means the medicine man… well he definitely found the cure for the Japanese 🙂
“MASSIVE” battle.…with just FOUR planes??
Why is this titled the air battle at Wake, but it is totally about Truk?
The History Channel lacks a lot of good content. I became aware of it going downhill years ago, when they had a program “The history of shovels.” Another was on its “Modern Marvels”, where the topic was about the pyramids.
That “Thatch Weave” was pure Genius !!!
私は日本人なので、ゼロが火を噴くのが辛いです。戦争ですから、仕方ないですね。
Thank you all for your services all ❤️ our heroes Navy
Can you make your dogfight videos available in France please
Truk is a different island than Wake island.
Imagine how powerful the hellcats would be with their HVAR missiles in ww2
The History Channel used to be great with shows like this. Now it’s mostly just trash reality shows.
So Chuuk Lagoon, formerly known as Truk Atoll, is 1301 miles from Wake Island. The Battle of Wake Island began 3 days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Only 4 American fighter planes survived the initial Japanese Bombings. Epic battle, just not this one.
These men who flew from the first aircraft carriers took so much risk. There was no place to set it down if something went wrong you were in the ocean likely no one looking for you.
RIP Alexander Vraciu. Thank you for your service.
I wish all the Japanese pilotes who died in this battle rest in peace. In the air battle, they were always overwehmed in the number thry had to fight and in the quality of the airplanes since Zero was aloready out of the date.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way.….….
What does this video have to do with Wake Island?
Just a small observation, his name is pronounced as “Vrah-chu” not “Vrah-shu”, as he was Romanian. The name “Vraciu”, directly translates as “healer”, in terms of a medieval doctor that would treat your ailments with herbs.
howcome no us fighters ever shoot down…they where thousands
This plane should have named The Wasp…It’s all about that Wasp Engine. One of the greatest engines ever built anytime, anywhere
無駄をそぎ落とした直線的な機体に魅了された。
A gunner in the back seat of a plane at Truk, told that they called this pearl harbors revenge.
After 1 year the title is still messed up!
And not a single American jet was gunned down?
Notice the white history channel never acknowledges white people’s loss in the factual count.
As to make other inferior races believe that they’re invulnerable.
Nice video!!!
They won at first but later 😮
So long ago
👍
Nothing to do with WAKE ISLAND. This video is about the Truk dogfight.
The cover depicts a Hellcat. Not available at the time.
The aircraft of Wake Island battle were Wildcats.
I saw here somebody saying the japanese had only the zeros to the end.
Wrong.
Shinden,Hayate,Hien etc
Thanks for this we have a Japanese Zero plane in a museum here in NZ👍🇳🇿
