THE MIDWAY IS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC BATTLES OF WWII. IT TOOK PLACE DURING THE DARKEST HOUR OF THE WAR, WHEN AMERICA`S SPIRITS AND CONFIDENCE WERE STILL BADLY SHAKEN BY JAPAN`S STUNNING ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR AND HER STRING OF TERRITORY-GRABBING VICTORIES IN THE PACIFIC. WHITE HOUSE ATTENTION WAS ON THE WAR WITH HITLER AND THE US NAVY WAS SHORT OF SUPPLIES AND DIRECTION. WITH THE ODDS STACKED AGAINST IT, THE NAVY DESTROYED FOUR JAPANESE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS IN THE BATTLE, WHILE LOSING ONLY ONE. THE VICTORY CAUSED IRREPARABLE HARM TO JAPAN AND LIFTED THE SPIRITS OF THE NATION.
