Actually it started on 04 June 1942
The Imperial Japanese Navy never recovered for the loss of their carriers at Midway. There was a lot of fighting left to be done, obviously, but after this we were on the offensive and the IJN was doomed.
If you haven’t seen the 2019 film Midway, get the DVD or stream it now! One of my favorites.
Amazing hunches - Amazing courage - Amazing victory !
There is a long Youtube account of the battle done by, I think a German who studies these battles in depth. At the end he summarizes the reasons for the win or loss.
He gives the usual reasons but one which caught my attention was just how daring the Americans were and how the Japanese were not at all expecting it.
Bttt.

Well, if you meant 78 years +1 day — you’d be correct.
The Battle of Midway was on 6-4-2020
Today’s Democrats would be trying to surrender already, getting on a knee to apologize for their racist conduct towards Japan.
“78 Years ago TODAY...Battle of Midway...always remember.”
Remember what. Since the government took control of the education systems and only hired liberals, these kids today have no clue of American History is about and the sacrifices made by those who sacrificed themselves to keep us free.
Having lived through WWII, I have no doubt that "today's" U.S. citizenry would have folded after Dec 7th and sued for peace by any means necessary...
Now the world is slowly being divided up and absorbed by the moslem devils and the communists (including both the ChiComs and the worldwide communist parties of which the CPUSA and the Democrat party are a major part)
If those men of Torpedo 8 knew what has become of this nation.......they’d be pissed giving up their lives on a suicide mission.
Who cares about the Battle of Midway? All I care about is the 6 day George Floyd memorial coverage. I mean, you would think it was the 4 days after the JFK assassination the ay is he media is covering it.
It’s hard to believe-78 years. I has two Uncles who served in WW II in the Pacific, both of them are gone now. Miss you Uncle Leon and Uncle Robert.
