Carrier Battles Of World War 2

This programme provides an account of some of the major fleetversusfleet actions of World War 2 when the worlds largest Navies launched their flagship aircraft carriers and their carrierborne aircraft into battle against one another.

We look at the battles fought between the allied British and American Carriers against the Japanese Imperial Fleet, engagements such as the Coral Sea, Midway and the famous Marianas Turkey Shoot.

Also included are the battles fought by the British carriers against the German Battleship Bismarck and the lethal Japanese Kamikaze attacks against the British and American carriers.
