No, it was a book by William Shirer I read in high school. So I wrote, IIRC, which means, "if I recall correctly," which meant that I was not certain. What is certain is that instead of offering a polite correction, you proved yourself an a$$hole. Congratulations.
I haven't read the book.
My point was, that in the movie they left too many questions unanswered, and the movie became nothing but a movie of watching cool planes fly around, but little substance of a story. I found the movie interesting when I was in HS, but saw it a number of years ago, now older, and found the movie lacking. I think the writing for the movie could have been much better.
The only depth of the story was at the end, when the person left back in time, met the ship at the dock 40 years later.
Sorry if I came across negatively. That was not my intention at all.
Yes-they were Swordfish biplanes that torpedoed the Bizmarck sent by the Arc Royal. (Actually, I think I read the exact same book on the Bizmarck in HS, 30+ years ago. Still remember some parts, where they were talking about the divers going down trying to free the rudder.)
My comment that I made to you, was about a movie around 1980, called the Final Conflict. In it the US Nimitz is transported back in time to just before the Japanese strike Pearl Harbor.
My comment was a sarcasm, that instead of the Nimitz, it was the Arc Royal, as it was the Arc Royal that attacked the Biz, and this article is about the modern day Arc Royal. The movie was terribly written, and was only good for watching cool planes to fly around.
Another reader caught on to the movie I was trying to allude to.
Sorry once again. I meant no disrespect.
