Battle of 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.
