The Battle of Midway, fought from June 4 to June 7, 1942, began on June 4 with a surprise air attack by U.S. forces that resulted in the sinking of the Japanese aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu. On June 5, the U.S. continued its offensive with further air strikes, targeting remaining Japanese ships and reinforcing their positions. June 6 saw limited action as both sides regrouped, while on June 7, the U.S. forces continued to pursue and attack the remnants of the Japanese fleet, leading to the eventual sinking of the carrier Hiryu, solidifying a pivotal victory for the United States. The battle marked a crucial turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
