The Battle of Midway: How the US Navy Turned the Tide in the Pacific

The Battle of Midway: How the US Navy Turned the Tide in the Pacific — In just a few minutes on June 4, 1942, three of the most feared aircraft carriers on earth turned into burning wrecks. This is the full story of how a battered US Navy ambushed the Japanese Imperial Navy at Midway: codebreakers who cracked the target, 1,400 Pearl Harbor workers who patched up USS Yorktown in 72 hours, torpedo squadrons that died almost to a man so the dive bombers could find an open sky, and the five minutes that broke Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu. By sunset, Hiryu was gone too — and the Pacific War had flipped for good.
