jun 7, 1942 - Battle of Midway
Description:
US planes from aircraft carriers sunk 4 of Japan's aircraft carriers near Midway island in June 1942. It was the turning point of the Pacific campaign against the Japanese, who were unable to recover from the loss of carriers and pilots. This is significant because Japan now saw the US as a threat.
