I still get a thrill watching MIDWAY when the Japanese airmen run to the side of the ship, and look with angst on their faces. The camera pans around to show three carriers burning.
“Helen Leader to squadron: enemy carriers burning.
Time to go home.”
Hated to see Charlton Heston crash in flames, after telling his lovelorn son,
“Well, you’d better get your head out of the cockpit, tiger, or else some hotshot Jap pilot’s gonna flame your @zz!”
