Attack on Pearl Harbor 1941

(Animated Battle Map)

Corrections:

at 8:44 I can explain the mathematical error of 48%. I remember writing in the script something along the lines of "of the 40 torpedo bombers, 4 were destroyed before being able to launch and one had to jettison its torpedo. Of the 35 torpedoes launched, only 19 achieved hits. that's a 48% loss rate." but somewhere in the editing process I accidentally cut out the first half. Apologies for that. The real blunder was that it wasn't 36 that launched, it was 35.

at 10:00 I said "caught on tape". I remember this clearly. a few days before uploading I thought to myself "hmm, they didn't have tapes back then, did they? ah, it's a minor thing who cares..." boy was I wrong! The internet quickly corrected me on that one! so yes, I should have said "caught on film" instead.
