Deathblow To WWII Japanese Imperial Fleet
Large sections of the Japanese Imperial Fleet enter the Philippine Sea from three directions, to engage U.S. Naval power in a show-down battle. Our flat tops aircraft carriers send their swarms of Helldivers, Avengers and Hellcats up into battle. A tremendous explosion shows us that the magazine of the U.S.S. Princeton has been hit. Japanese planes spin into the sea. Aboard another carrier, we watch damaged American planes limp in, to make unbelievable landings. 62 enemy vessels are sunk or seriously damaged. And to celebrate the tremendous victory, Tojo, in caricature, is lambasted into nothingness by ‘Ole Rubber Arm, the Sailor Man.
