USS Enterprise (CV 6) turning hard at 27 knots during the Battle of Santa Cruz, October 26, 1942. Crews tend to a sticken Wildcat when the AA gunners start firing at incoming dive bombers. Soon the rudder is put hard over and water splashes coat the flight deck. 20 more 20mm Oerlikons were added at Pearl before the battle. The first batch of 40mm Bofors were also installed. Downed Japanese aircraft can be seen burning on the water. 428-NPC-13400

The Battle of Midway: Turning Point in the Pacific (June 4–7, 1942) 🇺🇸🇯🇵 Colorized archival footage captures the intensity of the Battle of Midway, the decisive naval clash that changed the course of the Pacific War. U.S. Navy SBD Dauntless dive bombers and F4F Wildcats launch from carrier decks, fly in tight formation, and strike back against the Imperial Japanese Navy. Heavy anti-aircraft fire fills the sky as the battle reaches its climax and American forces inflict devastating losses, sinking four Japanese fleet carriers, destroying more than 300 aircraft, and eliminating many of Japan’s most experienced naval aviators. In just four days, the battle shattered Japan’s offensive momentum and marked a turning point in the Pacific War.

Some cool footage of the Turtle Bay Fighter Strip on Espiritu Santo in 1943 showing VMSB 241 SBD Dauntless dive bombers/scouts taxiing and VMF 214 "Blacksheep" F4U's taking off. From the looks of it seems some were able to find solitude away from the carnage at times.🤘😎
