The Battle of Midway was fought between the US Fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Frank Fletcher (Medal of Honor at Vera Cruz in 1914) and the Army, Navy and Marine Corps defenders of Midway Island against Vice Admiral Chiuichi Nagumo's invasion fleet. Fletcher had three carriers with 233 aircraft to oppose Nagumo's four carriers with 262 aircraft. The Island's defenders were equipped with 127 mostly obsolete aircraft and excellent anti aircraft defenses. The battle stopped the invasion, sank all of the Japanese carriers and destroyed 228 of the Japanese aircraft. It was a decisive victory and a Pacific War turning point.
