This is a sunny Sunday, the airplanes neatly arranged at the airport, the warship was spotlessly clean lined up in rows on the pier, as if they were ready for inspection.

Introduction The Battle of Midway was a critical turning point of the war in the Pacific during World War II.

The elimination of this capability from consideration during the preparation for this battle will drastically influence the outcome. Through critical reasoning and battle analysis, this paper will determine the level of effect of the capability

If the United States of America had not been in possession of Midway, the Empire of Japan could have easily attacked Pearl Harbor, or possibly even the west coast of the United States. I believe the possession of the Island of Midway was a key ingredient to winning the war in the Pacific. Japan, which has almost no
