Great timing. I just hit the Battle of Midway today in Hardcore History’s Supernova in the East series.
It seems most of the focus on Japan’s failure involves not having enough planes for the mission and their indecision around Nagumo’s dilemma, but I think the US deserves way more credit for their pesky continuous barrage tactic. It kept the Japanese completely occupied with indecision and kept them from being able to launch the massive attack they were seeking and believed to be doctrine.
