Being on a Japanese Aircraft Carrier in WW2 was Hell The Imperial Japanese Navy called the Kido Butai the finest carrier striking force in the world. That was the official position. Six carriers, the best-trained naval aviators alive, three hundred and fifty aircraft over Pearl Harbor in a single morning — nothing the Allies could stop. That was the official version. June 4th, 1942 told a completely different story. Four carriers. One day. 2,181 men dead most of them killed not by the enemy, but by their own ships. This video details why the most powerful carrier force in history was also a floating bomb and what the men living inside it never knew until it was too late. #ww2history #ww2stories #ww2 #wwii
