Midway and Coral Sea Battles

Japanese bombers over Australia. (Even though the newsreel is supposed to be about the Midway and Coral Sea Battles, the first part is about Australia.)

The aircraft carrier Lexington is destroyed in the battle.

Japanese ship losses.

The newsreel must have been done really soon after the battle since the announcer does not even know exactly how many Japanese ships were sunk. There are also no clips of the aircraft Japanese aircraft carriers being hit.
