This episode of Track Pads brings to life the decisive events of the Battle of Midway, a turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War Two. Listeners will hear how Japan’s ambitious plan to eliminate the United States Pacific Fleet was upended by American codebreaking, strategic foresight, and the courageous actions of naval aviators. From the initial Japanese diversion at the Aleutians to the crushing dive-bomber strikes on Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu, the podcast captures the tension, chaos, and strategic brilliance that defined this legendary clash.
Narrated directly from the full-length Trackpads Military Newsletter article, this episode offers an immersive and educational experience for those who prefer learning on the go. It covers the battle’s origins, key decisions, the dramatic carrier strikes, and its lasting impact on naval warfare and the Pacific War. Whether you're driving, commuting, or just closing your eyes to imagine the roar of the engines and the crash of the waves, this is military history made vivid and accessible.
