Victory at Sea (1952)

S1E4 MIDWAY IS EAST: Japanese victories & the Midway Battle

Japan gains momentum as it successfully launches invasions of Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines. However, the Americans strike back, first in the Coral Sea and later at Midway, where they manage to bomb four of Japan's aircraft carriers—those identical ones involved in the attack on Pearl Harbor. This decisive blow forces the imperial fleet to retreat, marking a significant early victory for the U.S. in the Pacific theater.
