Summary

[edit]
Description

Map showing the attacks of Midway-based aircraft on the Japanese Striking Force during the Battle of Midway on 4 June 1942.
Note: the numbers and types of the aircraft used are not entirely correct:
1. The "25 Brewsters" were actually 21 Brewster F2A-3 Buffalo and 3 Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat; one F2A had to return to base due to engine trouble and two additional F4F had to land before the attack to be refueled.

4. The "27 SBD bombers" were 16 Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless and 11 Vought SB2U-3 Vindicator. The latter attacked later due to the lower cruising speed.
