America's Revenge: The Battle Of The Philippine Sea | War Factories (2022x52)

: 10, 2022

Having recovered from the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour a few years prior, America were now ready to take the fight to Japan. This led to 5 major 'carrier-versus-carrier' engagements, the last of which was The Battle of the Philippine Sea. Japan had the better planes, but America had the superior pilots. What followed was an American victory so dominant that the aerial part of the battle was dubbed the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.
