We are running a scenario based on May 7 and May 8, 1942 -- The Battle of the Coral Sea -- the world's first carrier-vs.-carrier battle. The Wildcats, Dauntlesses, and Avengers of the USS Lexington and Yorktown will take on the Zeros, Vals, and Kates of the Shoho, Shokaku, and Zuikaku.

6-minute-long documentary clip on the Battle of the Coral Sea, with lots of excellent actual footage from the battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQaMzKwrX-Q
