Nice to see those dive bombers loaded upand taking off at about :28. Those were USMC SB2U-3 Vindicators heading out to attack Nagumo's carriers. They failed to score any hits, but they and the American carrier torpedo bombers helped draw off the fighters from later attacks that sunk all four Japanses carriers.
