The Japanese considered the capture of Midway vital to protect their conquests in the western Pacific. Badly damaged at Coral Sea the USS Yorktown was repaired in 48 hours and with Enterprise and Hornet sent out to meet the Japanese fleet. In a battle marked by great heroism on both sides the United States dealt a devastating blow to the Imperial Japanese Fleet. In this superbly illustrated volume Mark Healy tells the whole story of Midway; espionage, daring, luck and extreme heroism. A fascinating read supplemented by genuine photographs of the battle in progress.
