@HunDriverWidow You know who won the battle?This guy. Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher.They gave him an impossible job: Meet the Japanese carrier fleet in the middle of the ocean and win.He had the brilliant idea of using Midway Island itself as a fourth aircraft carrier for B-17 bombers.He's the only flag officer who refused to be interviewed for the official history of a battle.And virtually nobody knew that he won the Medal of Honor in 1914.

@ThomasWic @HunDriverWidow -- According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know, but still), most of Admiral Fletcher's personal papers were lost in combat, and he declined to recreate them for posterity.SIX Japanese carriers sunk thanks to his leadership, four of them at the Battle of Midway. Impressive.

@ThomasWic @HunDriverWidow In the cast list there's no-one listed as playing Fletcher... I wonder if this movie will paint the Japanese as the victims... you know how Hollywood is these days.
