Bombs or Torpedoes? In the end it didn’t matter.
If our Torpedoes worked, the war would have ended much earlier.
Only the dive bombers did any damage.
A broken code and poor reconnaissance on their part. Nice payback for Pearl Harbor.
I watched a shorter, around 15 minute one a few weeks ago. I actually think the video was made by a German.
The final conclusion was that Midway was the decisive victory of the war. Not because as is widely stated, that it broke the back of Japan’s naval forces.
Although they lost a lot of pilots, aircrew, and carriers, they still had adequate forces to defeat us. The real effect was psychological.
I was stationed on Midway in 75-76. Dove on several of the remains of the battle. It was eerie.
Wading my way slowly through "Shattered Sword" right now. Kindle version shrinks maps and phots to unreadable size unfortunately.
The Coral Sea was where the Japanese were first stopped
That was excellent, thank you.
Excellent video presentation.
