Midway atoll has become a National Wildlife Refuge and is an amazing place. We were very fortunate to make a few stops there during our search for the midway carriers. This video is about some of the wildlife found there and the issues facing the atoll. | RV Petrel

After Midway, the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive. #BattleOfMidway #WorldW
