So this documentary was made by John Ford. The famous American film maker best known for helping to create John Wayne as the action power house that he is, along with creating the modern mythology of the American west for the better part of two decades. After the US entered World War 2, John Ford offered his services to the United States Navy and commissioned as Lt. Commander in their combat camera service. He was offered a chance to film the upcoming battle for Midway Island from the island itself as a way to prove to the American population that their Navy was doing something in trying to win the war with Japan. Soon after the battle John Ford and his camera crew were back in Pearl Harbor splicing all their combat footage together with other official Navy Documentary film from the battle and a quick narrative by Henry Fonda, Donald Crip, and Jane Darwell. This film was first shown to Nimitz and then later to President Roosevelt, before being pushed to all of the movie houses around the nation. It won the 1942 Academy Award for Documentary, and John Ford himself was injured during the filming when splinters of a bomb hit him.

Basically a collection of color film clips which do seem to be from Midway. But no narrative describing the battle or its significance or what you are looking at. If you don't know what the battle of Midway is about before you see this, you won't know afterward either.
