Battle of Midway: How America Won the Pacific War
925 W. Washington Street, San Diego, 92103
Cost: Free
The U.S. Navy had no business winning the Battle of Midway in June 1942. They were outgunned and outmanned following the attack at Pearl Harbor. Yet code breaking, leadership, and heroism led to the most remarkable victory in U.S. Naval history. And it became the turning point in the Pacific in World War II. Free presentation in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the battle. Presented by the USS Midway Museum's Rudy Shapee, author of Midway Memories.
