DAVID GRUBBS/Gazette Staff Jim Muri, right, talks about his famous flight in a B-26 over a Japanese aircraft carrier at the Battle of Midway during World War II. A friend Roger Nelson, also of Billings, had a painting of the flight that hangs on the wall at Gusick’s restaurant in Billings. A small group gathered at Gusick’s Friday to honor Muri on the 68th anniversary of the battle. At left is Lonnie Bell of Billings.

The Battle of Midway in conjunction with the Battle of the Coral Sea, WAS the turning point in the Pacific during WWII. An amazing case of providence or serendepity (if you don’t believe in God).

B-26 Martin Marauder, one of the best planes of WWII and one of the hardest to fly, especially the early models. God bless this hero and thanks to him and the others of the “greatest generation” for their sacrifices.
