10:22 AM — Three Bombers Doom Japan's Unbeatable Carrier | The Death of Akagi.
Three American dive bombers. Ninety seconds. And the ship that once seemed unstoppable in Japan's navy was reduced to a burning wreck. If you had been standing on that deck at ten twenty two in the morning, would you have had time to move, or would you have simply watched the bomb fall the way so many of Akagi's sailors did? Naval historians still study this single dive as the moment the entire Pacific War changed direction. Tell us in the comments, which decision do you think mattered more, Nagumo's fatal order to rearm, or Best's split second choice to break formation and strike alone? Would you have made the same call sitting in his cockpit?
