In May of 1942, the Japanese sailed east, their destination, a small island called Midway, a fueling station for American ships sailing from Hawaii. Awaiting them was the United States Pacific fleet. Though Admiral Nimitz had the advantage of knowing the Japanese were coming, his fleet was smaller and without any battleships. The Course to Midway tells the story, of Charlie Nelson, Admiral Nimitz's driver, and of the most important American naval victiory of WWII.
