Movie will be filmed in Hawaii in Spring-Summer of 2018 and movie trailers coming out by December 2018 with likely release date in mid-December.

We can firmly document now the largely unknown direct involvement of Ewa Field in what is considered the greatest naval battle in American history.

The Midway battle aircraft revetments at Ewa Fields are by far the most important sites of national significance.

Emmerich:

“At the time, the Americans were the underdog,” he explained. “It was one of those moments where, against all odds, people came together and did the impossible. A lot of pilots died in this battle. I want to make a monument to them and it would be great to make a movie about it.”

The Midway 75th Anniversary is now available for viewing on demand at any time you like.

John Bond, Ewa Historian: One of the best synopsis of the battle was given by the new Navy CNO John Richardson. I fully expected a fairly boring cheerleading speech but either he is a true history fan or just has really great research staff his account is one of the best I have heard as a speech because it sums up all of the key factors of the battle and how it all worked in favor of the United States winning.

On the video go directly to 41: 55. It is worth hearing and you will have a very good understanding of the key factors in this great naval battle and how it was won.
