For the movie buffs out there I guess your thinking your seeing the real faces of some of the people in the movie Midway.

You would be right all of them had either major or minor rolls in the movie. The first question would be where is Captain Matt Garth played by

Charlton Heston? He and his son are fictional characters. I'll put him up shortly but there's an example of why this will either lead to a whole new website or just be a few more pictures to look at.

 As much as I love the movie there are numerous mistakes. A few examples would be,

• The movie shows pilots flying SB2C "Helldiver" dive bombers, such as the one Matt Garth flies immediately before crashing into the end of the flight deck.
  The SB2C "Helldiver" did not enter service until toward the end of the war and was not available during the Battle of Midway.

•  In the second air attack on Yorktown, the movie shows two kamikazes hitting the aircraft carrier. There were no kamikaze attacks in this battle.
   Yorktown was only hit by two torpedoes.

• When Matt Garth crashes on the flight deck at the end of the movie, it is actually footage shot during Korea, showing a SB2C "Helldiver"
  striking the ramp before turning into an F9F "Panther" jet fighter bomber as it explodes.

 I better upload now before this morphs into a Blog, then a WW II history lesson, and then when we get to May 14th 1948 it turns into Biblical teaching.
