Air Group 16

"This documentary tells the story of Air Group 16 - the pilots, radiomen and gunners who served on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Lexington in World War II. The film follows the veterans and their families as they make the journey to Washington, DC, for the dedication of the National World War II Memorial in 2004." This is a short film, about 25 minutes, and it made the point that what veterans really want is to be remembered. That is exactly what I am trying to do for Private Tebbs, a man who is completely forgotten, who died almost 90 years ago. The film also has a brief, but excellent synopsis of the Battle of the Philippine Sea, in which U.S. Naval planes delivered a knock out blow to the Japanese Navy from which they never really recovered.
