:: ::

Only six months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sought to finish off what was left of the American
Navy. Circumstances would be different this time however as American
codebreakers learned of the oncoming attack in advance. At the Battle of Midway
the US Navy turned the tables on the Japanese and scored their biggest victory
of World War II’s Pacific Theater. Although the war was still far from over,
many historians speculate that Midway was an early turning point in the
conflict that would pay dividends in the years to come. On this episode we
discuss the Battle of Midway.
