The battle of midway started out as a Japanese plan to capture the minor American base on midway atoll.However,the Japanese still didn't know the Americans had cracked their code(they cracked it just days after pearl harbour.The Americans quickly figured out there would be an attack on midway and even figured out the day the Japanese would land,June 6 1942.
The Americans prepared their fleet for an ambush on the Japanese fleet.Early on June 4th American scout planes sighted the Japanese fleet.The Americans launched the first wave of torpedo bombers which were slaughtered by enemy fighters.The enemy had already launched their first wave to attack midway.
The Americans then launched their dive-bombers to attack.
To be continued......
That's all for now!
