69 years ago.
VT 3, VT 6 and VT 8 all flew into history and legend.

I just read about the battle of Midway in a book I'm reading on the SBD Dauntless. There were a lot of true heroes that day. :salute:

Midway...like the Battle of the Cowpens, the war-changer, and for a lot of the same reasons.

These courageous men knew too beforehand their chances of coming back were slim to none. As Jadg stated,...they flew into history and legend. :salute:

Remarkable men and a remarkable part of history. I do remember...:salute:
I met Ensign Gay, at a book signing at an air show back in the early eighties.

Capt. Bert Earnest, USN (Ret.) lives out in Virginia Beach. He and one of his crewmen were the other Torpedo 8 survivors, his plane being the only one of the squadron's six new TBF's launched from Midway to make it back - barely.

To all the men who served at Midway.:salute:
Those pilots took a beating and managed to deliver a telling blow against the Imperial Japanese Navy.
