Скачать или смотреть In 1945, American intelligence captured a perfect Japanese bomber. What they found inside shocked.

January 1945, American intelligence officers at Clark Air Base captured something never seen before—an intact Mitsubishi G4M “Betty” bomber. What they discovered inside would completely overturn Allied understanding of Japanese aviation and expose a design philosophy unlike anything in Western military doctrine.
The G4M was fast. It was long-ranged. It shattered Allied defenses in the opening months of the Pacific War—destroying Clark Field, sinking the British battleships Prince of Wales and Repulse, and striking targets thought to be safely out of reach.
But inside its wings was a fatal secret.
No armor.
No self-sealing fuel tanks.
No fire suppression.
Just thin aluminum and thousands of liters of fuel.
This documentary traces the Betty’s rise and catastrophic fall—from its shocking early dominance to the moment American fighters finally caught it in the skies over Guadalcanal. Through combat reports, engineering analysis, and battlefield consequences, this is the story of how range was chosen over survival, and how one brilliant aircraft became a flying death trap for its own crews.
This is not just the story of a bomber.
It’s the story of a doctrine that burned.
