Anniversary of the Battle of Midway

Betsy's Page pointed the way to John in Carolina's 64th anniversary tribute to the Battle of Midway, which was fought June 4th, 5th, and 6th, 1942.

Walter Lord's INCREDIBLE VICTORY, which John quotes on his blog, is, in my estimation, one of the finest non-fiction books ever written. It is a compelling and inspiring page-turner which I've read on multiple occasions. If you haven't read it yet, put it on your short list.

Also of interest: RETURN TO MIDWAY by explorer Robert Ballard, THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY, the Oscar-winning documentary filmed as it happened by the great director John Ford, and JOHN FORD GOES TO WAR. Ford received a shrapnel wound as he filmed the battle.
