It really does include some of John Ford's historic Midway film but it also seems to include shots from virtually every air battle in the rest of the war.

In particular, I am interested in the four or five seconds around 6:01 into the film. I had not realized there was color motion picture footage of a successful bombing attack on a carrier. Can anyone tell me what carrier, when and where?

Well that's what I believe anyway, and nobody is going to make see the reality.
