Title: inaccurate and based on discarded material. time for an updated account.
Product review: From the quality of this, I will assume that it is an older documentary. In which case, the out-dated information is forgivable. This is interesting if only for that sake. But as for historical accuracy, not so much. This documentary only revisits the old myths of the battle; From the Aleutian attack being a diversion, to the failure of Tone's No. 4 scout being the reason the American fleet was not discovered in time. Other myths, including the Japanese Carrier decks being loaded with planes at the time of the 10:20am attack, Akagi being hit 3 times, the American fleet being grossly outnumbered in the battle, even the purpose of the battle (as a jump-off point to invade Hawaii), are included in this typically inaccurate rehash.I really hope that a new documentary would be produced with the these fallacies corrected once and for all. I wish I could have given this one a higher rating. What a shame.
