Midway was the site of a famous battle in WW2. Yamamoto lost.
Thanks for that photo - I love old ones, and old air photos even more. Yes I know - Midway was one of the big turning points in the war in the Pacific.
I just got a kick out of the explanation in the article. Although I suppose for some it might be the first time they heard of it. Perhaps even the young-buck reporter that did a google search on Midway!
