Can suicidal bravery and fanatical determination make up for material, industrial and numerical insufficiency? As the Asia-Pacific conflict turns against the Japanese these questions are put to the test. The results are nightmarish.
Highlighted moments
the Japanese have a plan and it's a good one they're going to launch their planes which have significantly greater range than the American aircraft out of the Americans range so that they can hit the American ships but they can't be struck in return the devil though is in the details when you get to the nitty-gritty part of the reason the Japanese planes have this extra range is because they lack some of the things that the American planes are going to have like armor
“the Japanese have fueled a lot of these warships with the equivalent of straight crude oil right out of the ground they can't even get the oil that they need for the ships boilers and engines refined and if they do get them refined they can't get the refined oil to where the warships are”
