What really wrecked Midway for me was the scene when the hero pilot's plane crashed on deck of the carrier. The scene was lifted from footage of a jet crashing on deck! That was how cheaply made Midway was.
Yes I too thought it bad. I also seen some footage from Thirty second over Tokyo, and the Battle of Britain films as well. The scene of the plane crashing into the deck was footage taken from the Korean War IIRC.
