Between 4 and 7 June 1942, six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of Coral sea the biggest naval battle of WWII in the Pacific took place.

Battle of Midway became the turning point in the struggle between Japan and the USA. Japanese fleet lost 4 heavy carriers, 248 planes and best pilots. That was Japan's worst naval defeat in 350 years.
