@cthenrys True.

This should be an national holiday.

[Military History Now @MilHistNow]

On this day in 1942, U.S. warships ambush a Japanese task force at Midway. Japan loses four carriers and nearly 250 warplanes in the ensuing battle. It's a turning point in the Pacific War.

@PGee10 Changed the tide completely

Today should be Richard Best Day. Piloting a Dautless dive bomber, he sank two japanese carriers in battle of Midway.

He led his squadron in the attack despite an oxygen system malunction that burned his lungs and permanently disabled him. Hall of Fame American Hero. Unbeatable.

Remembering our heroes who fought at The Battle of Midway, June 4, 1942. 🇺🇸

All 15 out of 15 planes in Torpedo Squadron 8 from the USS Hornet were shot down. 10 out of 14 planes of Torpedo Squadron 6 from the USS Enterprise were shot down.

Their brave sacrifice drew the attention of the Japanese fighter combat air patrol down to sea level; scattering them around.

Approaching from above; the dive bombers from the Enterprise and the Yorktown were able to make their diving runs without any interference from the Japanese fighters.

Scoring 3 hits on the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu, and 4 hits on the Kaga. Then the third carrier the Akagi was hit right through the flight deck and exploded among the planes being refitted; like a powder keg.

In just 10 minutes; Japan had lost 3 of their finest aircraft carriers.

Later that afternoon, American dive bombers were able to hit and sink the last Japanese carrier the Hiryu.

Never forget the brave young men of those torpedo squadrons that drew the enemy away from the dive bombers; turning the tide in the Pacific War.

The Japanese would not be on the offensive for the rest of the war.

Never forget what our heroes did that day.

We will never see their kind again. 🇺🇸
