Kurtvw,

That was a fascinating story. Maybe you can get others who flew in the scenario to post their stories here?

After watching Midway last night, I must say that's a very good story! I'm going to have to take a break from flying the heavies and try out some combat fighting.

JOSH403,

What was the Midway program? I know a lot about this battle (in fact I did a history paper on it in college) but I may have missed the show in question.

Hey Mike, they made a whole movie on the Battle of Midway that I believe was filmed back in the 70's. It ranks up there with Tora, Tora, Tora. I found the DVD at Border's yesterday for 12 bucks. Go pick it up, it has a lot of real footage from the battle itself.

JOSH403,

Kindly post the title and I'll get it via NetFlix.

By the way, Pacific Fighters includes several scenarios relating to Midway. I haven't flown any of them yet but I know they're in there.

EDIT: Duh, you already said that the title is "Midway". Certainly I can search for that name on NetFlix.
