Magic
International flights to Europe commenced in 1945 and most significantly in 1949, the name of the airport was changed to the Chicago Midway Airport (MDW), remembering the naval Battle of Midway in June 1942.
The name comes from the Midway Island/s in the South Pacific. It also represents the battle of Midway from World War 2. That battle was significant because it was the battle when the Allied Forces first defeated the Japanese. It also happens to be one of the Navy boys' favorite ship.
Chicago Municipal Airport was renamed Midway Airport in 1949, to commemorate the 1942 Battle of Midway, a turning point for the United States in World War II.
The Battle of Midway was the turning point for the Allies when they defeated the Japanese on the sea. This was the first time the Allies had defeated the Japanese juggernaut.
