   Always great to find footage I've never seen before, especially film involving the early combat actions of the Pacific war.

   It's rare to come across footage I havent seen, and here is ten minutes worth. Good find USSW. I really enjoy that official booming voice of the US neswsreel commentary, it fills every activity with gravitas.

   Thanks, I was just looking up the raid on wikipedia and decided to check if there were any videos of it, and I found this.
