The Battle of Midway
(1942)|
Acclaimed director John Ford shot this 1943 Oscar-winning documentary while serving in World War II. Narrated by actors including Henry Fonda, Ford's film captures Japanese fighter planes attacking the U.S. outpost. Ford keeps the film rolling during the intense battle, even as he's injured (he was later awarded the Purple Heart). A dramatic scene captures marines raising the American flag in victory -- an historic moment in U.S. history.
