Answer Both attacked each other at the same time. This was an interesting sea battle as it was the first one that two naval forces fought each other without being in visual contact. The Japanese launched their planes to attack the Army and Air Forces on Midway Island. The American naval fleet had intelligence to know that the Japanese fleet was approaching, so they launched their planes to attack while their aircraft were over Midway.
