In early June of 1942 the might of the Imperial Japanese Navy steams towards Midway, a 2.4 square mile piece of US territory, Tokyo commands its fearsome carrier group to seize the strategic foothold, sever vital supply lines and cripple the Allied war effort.

But unbeknownst to them, code breakers have intercepted the order and alerted the US Pacific Fleet. Within days, the island that Hawaiians call the backbone of heaven would become the setting for a hellish battle with devastating consequences for Japan's Pacific ambitions.

The Battle of Midway would turn the tide of the Second World War, but what if it had failed?

My Mom was in love with a Seabee, but he was killed in the south Pacific. Then she met my Dad at a dance hall. She always told my two sisters, "Never marry someone you meet at a dance hall."
