Some more things I learned in my research.

There were Japanese planes that had to ditch as they had no carriers to land on after we destroyed them.

Japanese naval journalists were not allowed to report anything about the Midway action. All sailors who knew what happened at Midway were never allowed to return to Japan for the rest of the war. The wounded who were taken back to Japan were restricted to those base hospitals until the end of the war. The Japanese leaders were that scared of the damage to morale any news of the Midway defeat would cause to the general public.

Forgot to add that I saw the new movie and it was worth my time and money.

A passing thought. If you don’t believe in God and the USA explain Midway. Reading history throughout WW2, I cannot figuare out any other way than Devine intervention. The forming of the USA also points directly to our getting help. God, guts, and guns. Our soldiers then and now are the best.
