This week, Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take a look at some well known, and some not so well known, archival footage of USS Franklin (CV-13). On March 19,1945, USS Franklin was struck by two Japanese bombs dropped in a quick strike while she and Task Force 58 were a mere 50 miles from the coast of Japan. What was filmed next by ships of the Task Force and Franklin herself, amount to some of the most famous and harrowing footage shot during the entirety of the Pacific War. Tune in to see the shots and get the straight dope as Seth and Jon dissect the footage of Big Ben. ATTN!! Make sure and preorder Seth and Bill's book, The Killing Sea: The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal that Turned the Tide of the Pacific War. It publishes in May 2027, and you can preorder your copy now: https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/killing-sea-9781250443014/ #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack #salvaged #medalofhonor #tarawa #malayalam #singapore #guadalcanal #china #burma #oil #marinecorps #viral #yamato #manga #anime

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall are happy to welcome a member of The Nerderati to the show as Brian Perry comes aboard to talk about Yorktown’s damage at Coral Sea and Midway. Brian gets into the deep weeds about what happened to Ole Yorky at Coral Sea and if the damage she suffered actually played any part in her performance at Midway. We then get into the famous Pearl Harbor drydock story, and bust a few myths along the way before getting to Midway and diving into exactly what happened to CV-5 and what made her sink. Tune in to this one and learn some new stuff like we did. ATTN!! Make sure and preorder Seth and Bill's book, The Killing Sea: The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal that Turned the Tide of the Pacific War.
