Verrrrrry lucky hit on the Akagi:

It was the very last US bomb available, in that attack, and it was the last carrier sunk in this phase of Midway.

Had instead this Dick Best bomb gone to the other two, earlier sinkings, then this one would not have happened.

THIS is the hit that was considerably enhanced by the many bombs and fuel lines strewn around the aircraft hangar.

Had he hit in many other places, this single-bomb sinking might have been in doubt.
