Ages 14+ "One Battle Turned the Tide of War" June 4, 1942-the fate of World War II hangs in the balance as American dive bomber pilots take to the skies in their Douglas SBD Dauntless aircraft, plunging through walls of anti-aircraft fire to strike the Japanese fleet at Midway. These "Slow But Deadly" dive bombers delivered the devastating blows that sank four Japanese carriers and turned the tide of the Pacific War in a single day. This incredibly cinematic epic follows Lieutenant Dick Best and his fellow aviators as they fly these legendary aircraft against impossible odds, capturing the courage and sacrifice that changed the course of history. The film was a 20-year passion project for its director, he managed to raise the money on his own - making "Midway" one of the most expensive independent films ever made. With extensive research ensuring historical accuracy down to the smallest details, the production recreated aircraft carriers and planes from scratch on Montreal soundstages as no surviving carriers exist as they did back then. DOUGLAS SBD DAUNTLESS The Douglas SBD Dauntless was the U.S. Navy's main carrier-based scout and dive bomber from 1940-1944, and it earned every bit of its legendary status at the Battle of Midway. Nicknamed "Slow But Deadly" (derived from its SBD designation), the Dauntless featured ingenious perforated dive brakes that allowed pilots to achieve near-vertical 70-degree dives while maintaining control, releasing their 1,000-pound bombs with devastating accuracy before pulling out mere hundreds of feet above the waves. With its distinctive perforated dive flaps deployed, the Dauntless could slow from 250 mph to 120 mph in just seconds, giving pilots the precision they needed to hit moving targets the size of football fields from 10,000 feet up. At Midway, Dauntless pilots from the USS Enterprise and USS Yorktown struck the Japanese carriers Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu within minutes, setting them ablaze and sealing their fate. Over 5,900 Dauntlesses were built, and they sank more enemy shipping than any other Allied bomber in the Pacific Theater-a record that earned them the respect of both American aviators and their Japanese adversaries.

Ages 14+ THE ROBOTECH SAGA He wasn't supposed to be there. Rick Hunter was a civilian — a barnstorming stunt pilot who'd come to Macross Island to watch the SDF-1 launch, not fight an alien war. But when his old friend Roy Fokker showed him the cockpit of trainer VT-102 and told him to sit tight, Rick made the rookie mistake of falling asleep at the controls. When he woke up, the Zentraedi were attacking, the island was in chaos, and a ground crew had armed and launched him before anyone realized he had no idea what he was doing. What followed was the most accidental — and most consequential — combat debut in the history of the Robotech Defense Force. Rick Hunter didn't choose the First Robotech War. The First Robotech War chose him, stuffed him into a trainer, and shoved him off the runway. The rest, as they say, is history. ROBOTECH VF-1D VERITECH FIGHTER U.N. SPACY (VT-102) This U.N. Spacy is a proud homage to VT-102 — the combat-capable trainer variant of the legendary Veritech line, identifiable by its distinctive tandem two-seat cockpit and twin head lasers, and the unlikely birthplace of the Macross Saga's greatest hero. The connection here runs deep and natural: unlike most fighters of its era, the Tomcat was always a two-crew aircraft, pairing a pilot up front with a Radar Intercept Officer in the back seat — a tandem arrangement that mirrors the VF-1D's instructor-and-trainee configuration almost exactly. With a top speed exceeding Mach 2, variable-sweep wings that automatically optimize for any flight condition, and a service ceiling of 53,000 feet, the Tomcat was hardly a forgiving classroom. Then again, neither was the Battle of Macross Island.

Ages 14+ THE ROBOTECH SAGA When a massive alien warship from another dimension crash-landed on Earth, humanity had a choice: panic, or figure out how the thing worked. They figured out how the thing worked.The result was Robotechnology — and its finest achievement was the Veritech Fighter, the transformable mecha-marvel at the heart of Robotech's Macross Saga. Reluctant hero, barnstorming circus kid, and the most unlikely savior Earth ever produced, Lieutenant Rick Hunter was swept into the First Robotech War almost by accident — and spent the rest of it proving that was a mistake on the Zentraedi's part. Promoted to lead his own three-man Vermillion Squadron, Rick grew from a hotshot kid with good natural instincts and a chip on his shoulder into a heroic combat commander of real depth and judgment, facing down an alien armada that outnumbered humanity's forces by a staggering margin — and refusing, every single time, to blink first. And Rick did it all piloting his trusty VF-1J Veritech Fighter! VF-1J VERITECH FIGHTER U.N. SPACY (VERMILLION ONE) The VF-1J Veritech is the squadron leader variant of the legendary Robotech fighter line — identified by its distinctive twin head lasers — and it shares its DNA with one of the most iconic real-world fighters ever built. The VF-1's creator has recounted how the transformation concept was literally born from a fighter jet model kit — fidgeting with it one day, he noticed the gap between the twin engines and realized he could fold a pair of arms right into it. The rest, as they say, is science fiction history. Like many elite fighter jets the Valkyrie features variable-sweep wings that automatically adjust for speed and maneuverability, shi?ing from 20 degrees forward to 72 degrees swept in the blink of an eye. This U.N. Spacy is a proud homage to Rick's venerable VF-1J — and like its pilot, it was built to be the last thing the enemy ever saw.
