Midway
A month after striking in the Coral Sea, the Japanese launched
an all-out assault against Midway Island in what was obviously
intended as the first step of a grand attack upon Hawaii and continental
United States. The Navy was ready, and the heroic pilots from
naval aircraft carriers inflicted a major sea defeat upon two
great converging forces northwest of Midway. The enemy lost
four aircraft carriers, at least two heavy cruisers, and a number
of light cruisers, destroyers and transport - all by aerial attack.
