Battle Of Midway
Midway
Admiral Chester Nimitz along with his men attacked Japanese-held islands in the Pacific through what is termed a "leap frog" or "island hopping" manner.
The two main leaders were Isoroku Yamamoto for the Japanese and Chester Nimitz for the Americans.
Nimitz was in overall command of all aspects of strategy (Island-Hopping) in the Pacific theater of war between the Japanese and the Americans .
The Battle of Midway, fought in June 1942 during World War II, involved the United States Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy. Key figures on the American side included Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who was the commander of the Pacific Fleet, and Admiral William Halsey, while the Japanese side was led by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. This pivotal battle marked a significant turning point in the Pacific theater, as the U.S. successfully ambushed and defeated the Japanese fleet.
The Pacific Theater of Operations was so large it required two US/Allied supreme commanders: Navy-Admiral Nimitz/Army-General MacArthur.
Their best pilots and aircrewmen were destroyed at Midway.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was in overall control of planning for the 1941 surprise attack on the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo was commander specifically of the Pearl Harbor Striking Force.
