The battle report. Including damage information. https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ships/logs/CV/cv5-Coral.html I wish this went into more detail and had more pictures. But it's still an interesting read. Battle of Midway: Repairing the Yorktown After the Battle of the Coral Sea |...

The British 8th Army clashes with Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps and his Italian Allies at the Second Battle of El Alamein, a decisive Allied victory achieved with the help of a new Polish device. Winston Churchill later stated “Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a...

I was re-reading Shattered Sword, about the battle of Midway, and started to think about how much more bang-for-the-buck the first team of US naval aviators gave compared to later pilots. In the Battle of Midway, for example, three squadrons of pre-war trained SBD pilots sunk 3 carriers in one...

What if the outcome had been the opposite?

Hi Everyone, My father was in the 127th Reg., 32nd Div. as a mortarman in WWII. One of the items he brought home was a Japanese Flag. I've had the flag for over 30 years having taken it out of my grandmother's (his mother) attic after her death. My Dad never talked much of the War, but told me...

70 years ago, the greatest fight between a numerically inferior force against a Goliath took place. The US kicked the asses of the IJN fleet off of Samar. A salute to you veterans of the battle. You are in the very last twilight years of your lives, and a final salute to you is in order! Well...
