Those we lost


Torpedo Squadron (1942)

Directed by John Ford this is a short documentary. We see film of the members of Torpedo Squadron 8 all but one of whom were later killed at the Battle of Midway.

A sombre memorial for men who were lost during the war there is not much to this film but it is still very human and touching. There is little narrative to this short piece but it is well worth a watch. Certainly propaganda but on a very personal level.

3/5
