Product: Midway (Collector's Edition) (1976)
Rating: 1.0
When will a more historically accurate "Midway" be released?
Don't get me wrong--this movie is, overall, a good movie. However, the Coral Sea footage should've been included in this so-called "Collecto'r Edition. Also, the contribution of the Army Air Corps should've been included (for example, 4 Martin B-26 Marauders went in and attacked the Japanese carrier force. Each B-26 carried an aerial torpedo slung under its belly. Only one B-26 made it back to Midway, and just barely. For further information on this, read "The Ragged, Rugged Warriors" by Martin Caidin. The info on the B-26 attack is at the end of the book).Also, anyone who has seen "Tora, Tora, Tora" will recognize the scenes which were taken from it and used in "Midway". Why can't Universal release this movie with the Coral Sea footage in it? For that matter, couldn't some more extra footage showing the B-26 attack be specially filmed?My husband told me about all this when we watched it recently.
