What did the importance of the outcome of the Battle of Midway have on the war?
Tank crewman, infantrymen, sailors, artillerymen, etc. can be trained in 8 to 16 weeks. It takes years to train top notch military pilots. The Battle of Midway took away the "cream of the crop" of their combat pilots and air crewmen (fighter pilots, dive bomber pilots and rear gunners, torpedo bomber pilots and gunners and torpedomen). Japan should have trained more pilots than it did. But apparently, Japan did not think that they would lose so many pilots during the war. From Midway afterwards, for the most part, inexperienced (naval) pilots would be fighting against the US and it's allies.

Important facts about the Vietnam war?
Created the US Fighter Bomber. Prior to the Viet War, ALL US jets were interceptors (minus the F105 Thunderchief). During the war, all of these interceptors were converted to the role of FIGHTER BOMBERS. In addition, nearly all of them were armed with missiles for interception; during the air war over North Vietnam US pilots had to RE-Learn aerial combat (dog-fighting) with machineguns/cannon fire; in addition to new gun-fighting schools such as TOP GUN and FLAG FLAG which were created solely to teach US pilots how to fight the North Vietnamese Air Force (who flew MiG17s, 19s, and 21s). TODAY ALL US JETS HAVE GUNS ON THEM!
