Roland Emmerich to movie the Battle of Midway
Roland Emmerich began preparing for the movieing of a movie dedicated to one of the most ambitious naval battles in the history of mankind - the Battle of Midway, which took place between the American and Japanese fleets during the Second World War and was called "The Battle of Aircraft Carriers" .. About this reported by Comingsoon. "During this period of the war, the Americans were quite weak. But in spite of everything, they got together and accomplished the almost impossible. A lot of pilots died. I would like to create a kind of monument to all of them, and with great enthusiasm I look forward to starting work on this movie." , - the director commented. Recall that the battle for Midway Atoll took place in June 1942. It marked a turning point in military action in the Pacific. The combined Japanese fleet suffered a crushing defeat, losing four aircraft carriers, one heavy cruiser, about 300 aircraft and most of its experienced pilots. After this battle, Japan was forever deprived of the opportunity to conduct hostilities in the open ocean without the cover of coastal defenses. The losses of the Americans turned out to be significantly less - about 150 aircraft, one destroyer and one aircraft carrier, moreover, the latter was torpedoed by a submarine already outside the main battle zone while being towed to the base for repairs.
