Midway is a fascinating study in how the fog of war, screw ups, mistakes, heroism, bad decisions, miracles, etc. can all mix together to change the course of the war in the 15 minutes it took for the dive bombers to cripple 3 carriers.
True. They made a perfect coordinated attack...almost completely by dumb luck. The Zeroes were all down deimating the torpedo bombers, when the dive bombers finally found the carriers and rolled in on them. Definitely fifteen minutes that changed history.
