Midway was the critical turning point as Japan lost 4 of its 6 fleet carriers, losing its offensive punch. Bad luck ( or good ) that Tones’ scout, whose patrol area was where the U.S. fleet was, did not launch. Had it launched on time, the American carriers would probably have been spotted first. Dang, I could go on all day about this stuff, lol. In carrier engagements the one who finds the enemy first usually wins.
Haven’t watched the second Midway movie yet. I’m afraid to, after watching Pearl Harbor years back. ( it sucked compared to Tora Tora Tora )
