However, America ended its string of losses in June 1942 during a three-day battle near the island of Midway. The stunning victory changed the course of the war in the Pacific. Carrier-based U.S. planes sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers, permanently damaging Japan s fearsome carrier force and allowing the U.S. Navy to gain the strategic advantage.White, Steve is the author of 'The Battle of Midway: The Destruction of the Japanese Fleet (Graphic Battles of World War II)' with ISBN 9781404274242 and ISBN 1404274243.
