Description
The most important and dramatic carrier battle of World War II, which completely changed the fortunes of both Japan and America.
One of the most important naval battles in history, Midway was fought barely six months after the devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The badly damaged USS Yorktown was repaired in just 48 hours and, with Enterprise and Hornet, set out to meet the Japanese.
In a battle marked by great heroism on both sides, the United States dealt a devastating blow to the Imperial Japanese Fleet, sinking four of her most powerful carriers.
In this superbly illustrated volume, Mark Healy tells the whole story; espionage, daring, luck, and extreme heroism. A fascinating read supplemented by genuine photographs of the battle in progress, Midway 1942 provides an engaging and detailed narrative of this pivotal moment in naval warfare.
