The Battle of the Philippine Sea, often referred to as "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" was fought on 19–20 June 1944 and effectively eliminated the Imperial Japanese Navy's ability to conduct large-scale carrier actions. It took place during the United States' amphibious invasion of the Mariana Islands. The battle was the last of five major "carrier-versus-carrier" engagements between American and Japanese naval forces, and pitted elements of the United States Navy's Fifth Fleet against ships and aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Mobile Fleet and nearby island garrisons. This was the largest carrier-to-carrier battle in history, involving 24 aircraft carriers, deploying roughly 1,350 carrier-based aircraft.
We covered the 4 raids of the 19th in this show. Part 2 is now scheduled youtube.com/live/fwsrUBY25gE
