Free live Situation screen for your area: https://holdlineprovisions.com/sitrep... Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japan sent its carrier fleet to take Midway, an atoll in the middle of the Pacific. American codebreakers had read enough of the plan to set a trap. In June 1942, in a few minutes over the sea, Japan lost the carriers that had struck Pearl Harbor. This film follows the battle through the men who flew it, from the record of both sides.
