Just wanted to say that I'm humbled by all the kind comments. I always have a great time hanging out with Drach, and the quality of the questions was superb. It was a really fun afternoon for me.

the initial location of Point Luck is indeed a very informative piece of information, salute to Drachinifel and the guest speaker for the research work on the naval history !

There could be a 50 hour set of these discussions, and I would listen to every minute. You have truly spoiled us!

"Shattered Sword" is my favorite book on Midway. Symonds book a close second. But Parshalls description of the Japanese within the bowels of the wrecked carriers are the images that stay with me the most.<br><br>...with Dick Best plastering the Akagi with that 1000 pounder a very close second.

This is the best guest you've ever had. Ignoring the intelligence or expertise he's really good at presenting.

John Parshall is amazing. I loved reading Shattered Sword! I bought a copy last year after seeing him on your channel last time.

As I recall, PBY Catalina pilot Ens. Gaylord Probst had the only successul USN aerial torpedo attack of the battle when he hit the tanker Akebono Maru .

"Interesting"? Hardly. More like absolutely flipping fascinating.

What a great follow up programme to the first Shattered Sword presentation by Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully. Drach & Jon really do complement each other in their presentation styles and the new perspectives on the Battle of Midway were both educational and engrossing. The programme reinforced that Carrier Doctrine and all of the associated technologies were still on a steep development curve in June 1942 and mistakes were bound to happen on both sides.

One of the most important aircraft of the war at least from the naval perspective would be the PBY Catalina IMO. A Catalina spotted the Japanese carriers off Midway, a Catalina spotted Bismarck. Catalinas also made a difference in the pilot quality situation as they rescued many aviators that ended up in the water. Add to that their contribution to hunting U-boats in the Atlantic as well as roles such as long range transport supplying the forward bases in the Pacific. An aircraft that did as much to win the war as almost any other that I can think of.
