Trooper117 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 For anyone who is a bit sketchy on the timeline and sequence of events during the battle, here is an animated overview of the event. Worth the watch actually... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzPig_EL Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I also highly recommend the book "Shattered Sword" by Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully. Covers the battle in depth and gives a lot of insight into Japanese thinking and carrier operation in general. Great book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gn728 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Ya - The Operations Room is definitely one of the better YT military history channels...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelsup_cavu Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Montemayor's channel is another good one. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX7katl3DVmch4D7LSvqbVQ His three part series on the Battle of Midway is one of the best I have ever found. The Battle of Midway 1942: Told from the Japanese Perspective (1/3) The Battle of Midway: Hiryu's Counterstrike (2/3) The Battle of Midway: The American Perspective and The Strategic Consequences of the Battle (3/3) Montemayor also has videos on the Pearl Harbor Attack, The Battle of the Coral Sea, The Battle of Savo Island, & two videos for the Battle of the Eastern Solomons.
