The Midway victory was one of the most important battles of the Pacific war – Japanese naval air superiority was destroyed in one day, putting an end to Japanese expansion and placing them on the defensive thereafter.

In just a few violent days in the waters off Midway Island, the American carrier fleet pulverised the Imperial Japanese Navy. The USS Enterprise, now destined to become the most decorated ship of the Second World War, along with her sister carriers Yorktown and Hornet, turned the tide of the Pacific War.

Watch and see how USS Enterprise helped secure one of America's first victories in the Second World War.
