My dad, Kenneth McDonald, served on the carrier Saratoga in the pacific during ww2 and told me about being on the flight deck during battles like this. I really appreciate the film because it, in detail, shows truly how bad it was. I wish I’d had been able to understand how horrible it really was while listening to the stories but I’m thankful now for having a visual image of what he endured.

So very true.....the Greatest Generation.

The issue date of this is November of '43 but it was filmed at the battle of Santa Cruz in October of '42. That film on the deck is actually from USS Hornet which was sunk during the battle after having been abandoned. Those bombs delivered by Aichi D3A "Val" dive bombers that penetrated the deck set off ordinance and aircraft fuel below decks. Another Val too damaged to return to it's carrier dove into Hornet's stack. Another stricken Val purposely rammed into it's antiaircraft guns. Yet another stricken Val dove into the destroyer USS Smith. That would be the last of the well trained IJN aircrews, combat veterans of China, Pearl Harbor and the three carrier battles preceding this. Japan could claim a tactical victory in vessels sunk and damaged but Japan's loss of nearly all their good naval aircrews in accomplishing what they did was more critical for them than the loss of USS Hornet and destroyer USS Porter was for us. As the only operational capital US carrier left until the Essex class were commissioned, damaged USS Enterprise then retreated from the battle with her escorts to fight another day. Santa Cruz was a vicious damned sea battle as were all of them..

The deck footage was shot on Enterprise, not Hornet. The part where the bombs hit is from the battle of the Eastern Solomons. At 2:10 we can see the second bomb to hit Enterprise which set off the ready powder bags for the 5-inch guns, killing the adjacent gun crews. At 2:40 the third bomb blows a hole in the flight deck. The part at 3:45 and subsequent shots of that same Wildcat were also filmed on the Enterprise, but during Santa Cruz. I am not sure about the other footage but I believe it can be found out if we find the separate footage from both battles.

Kudos to the Americans in the Pacific and beyond. From the UK.

Insane footage. I wonder how common it was for men to be thrown off the ship from all that maneuvering?!? Those men were only kids at the time, but they were 10 times the men any of us will ever be .

Maybe 10 times the man you are. My father was a gunners mate 1st class. He joined November 1940 and was trained in the Atlantic on the wyoming and then served the rest of the war in the Pacific. DD519 Daly from March 1943 to February 1945. He was on 2 different mine sweepers as a gunner. He hated the term greatest generation. Guys like my father loved this country and retired as GMC gunners mate Chief. I love this country just as much as he did. Our family history goes back to 1620 on my mother's side and 1677 on my father's. I'm my opinion the greatest generation if your going to use that term was our ancestors who fought for our independence. They had it far worse than your average ww2 soldier. Plus their wives and children were exposed to danger just like they were. My father did what he had to do, so would you and I if we were put in the same position.

I can't imagine being a 19 year old kid, running for his life in the middle of the SW Pacific. Just a few months ago, he was in high school, probably planning on getting married and starting a life. But, his country has called him to sacrifice and defend her. Challenge accepted. I just can't imagine what that was like.

Safe spaces never exist in war. Tough battle for a hardened crew.

Imagine WWs recorded by an HD camera

Very brave men. Respect 👊

that was intense!

My god this is wow, you just don’t get a feeling like this from movies, so many guns going off from the ship and so brutal from both sides would be feeling like death is close.

Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

And this is why we have stealth aircraft, thermal imaging, and advanced firing controls. Good luck getting this close to our ships again.

Bullets everywhere and bombs.,I salute the courage of the camera man

If I remember correctly the camera operator was so dedicated he was killed by the bomb hitting the elevator on that carrier. The gun crews aft were atomized by the first hit. To me those sailors struggling against the sharp turn carrying fire extinguishers are all heroes-just a selfless action doing their jobs to try and help. As one newsreel stated during the Kamikaze attacks at Okinawa, these sailors didn't have any foxholes to jump into but just had to take it.

America had the best fire fighting measures, the Japanese the worst. During Midway, the Japanese attacked the Yorktown twice and thought the 2nd attack was a completely different carrier. That's a testament to the fire crews.

Great never seen that footage. That's a rare thing. Thank you.
