Midway Island Falls to Japan



Large Japanese Force arrives off Midway. The first wave of Japanese infantry was fought off, leading the Us garrison commander to radio the message "Send us more Japs"

The second Japanese wave was successful, however, with the island falling after three days of fighting.

Analysts say that the loss of this vital naval resupply station will badly affect future operations from Pearl until some time as the island is recaptured
