There once was a Battle called Midway
In which Yamamoto thought he could play
The U.S. fleet was already waiting
On thin ice enemy ships were skating
As Nimitz welcomed them into the fray
Two officers did fly their airframe
To an airfield, that still has no name
They quickly became heroes
Shooting down all those zeroes
In the USAF they claimed their fame.
Spruance, not Nimitz — credit where credit is due; esp to the eight (IIRC) USN Hero torpedo plane crews gloriously sacrificed their lives to seal the fate of four Nipponese flat-tops with their loads of aircraft and crew complements.
