Scenario 9: Find the Flat Tops!: Marechallannes
Historical Background:
The Battle of Midway is widely regarded as the most important naval battle of the Pacific Campaign of World War II. Between 4 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea, the United States Navy decisively defeated an Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) attack against Midway Atoll, inflicting irreparable damage on the Japanese fleet.
The Carriers Task Forces sent out patrols to detect the position of the enemy fleet and flattops. With a smaller radius than the long range patrol planes, carrier based fighters fly combat air patrols in search for enemy activity.
