Alan Armstrong has written an aerial script entitled: The Battle of Midway which tells the story of heroism and sacrifice at a moment when the Japanese Empire was poised to complete its domination in the Pacific and threaten the Hawaii Islands with invasion. American grit and determination resulted in a numerically superior adversary being defeated. In 30 minutes, the balance of power in the Pacific shifted from Japan to America as three Japanese aircraft carriers were set ablaze by American pilots flying the venerated Dauntless dive bomber. Mr. Armstrong's aerial script will be performed at a number of air shows in the Southeastern United States. The cast of aircraft involved in the performance will include: an SBD Dauntless operated by the Dixie Wing of the Commemorative Air Force and flown by Keith Wood or Capt. John Currenti, a replica Zero flown by Capt. Jack Van Ness, the Kate operated by Japanese Bomber, LLC and flown by Alan Armstrong and a B-25 Mitchell bomber flown by Tom Reilly and Stan Bloyer. The cast will be rounded out with other aircraft such as two SNJ Texans flown by Captains Jim Buckley and Joe Fagundes. Depending on the location of the performance, there may be other or additional aircraft appearing in the show. The Battle of Midway performance is intended to raise the bar for air battle reenactments at air shows with dramatic music, narration and sound effects. It will, in effect, be "theater with airplanes."  Please consult our Air Show Schedule page on this website so you will know where you can witness a Battle of Midway air battle reenactment.
