<prompt> Qedela umusho olandelayo: I-Marine Scout Bomber Squadron 241 i-VMSB-241 yakhiwa eMidway Atoll ngo-March 1, 1942 njengengxenye ye-Marine Aircraft Group 22 i-MAG-22. Kusukela ngoJuni 4 kuya ku-6, 1942 lesi sikhulu salwa eMpini Yase-  <response>: Impi yaseMidway lapho yalahlekelwa khona izindiza zayo ezingama-23 kwezingu-30 futhi yalahlekelwa yizindiza ezingama-22 ezibulewe empini kanye nezingu-14 ezalimala empini. Ngo-0605 ngoJuni 4 isikhala sathola umyalezo wokusheshisa zonke izindiza zabo ukuhlasela iqembu lezindiza laseJapane elalibonwe ebangeni elingamakhilomitha angu-280 ukusuka esiqhingini. I-VMSB-241 yayihlukaniswe yaba amayunithi amabili okuhlasela, owokuqala wakhiwa ama-SBD-16 aholwa nguMeya uLofton Henderson, kanti owesibili waba yi-11 SB2U-3s eholwa nguMeya uBenjamin W. Norris. Iqembu likaHenderson lenyukela kumamitha angu-9,000 ukuthola abathwali besitha, ababesohlaselweni lwe-United States Navy TBFs kanye ne-B-26. Abashayeli bezindiza baleli qembu babona imikhumbi yaseJapane ngo-0744, kodwa njengoba ama-SBD ehla ngokuzungeza, ahlaselwa yizinqwaba ze-Nakajima B5Ns kanye ne-A6M Zeros ezindiza emoyeni, ezazithuthukiswa ngokushesha ngabashayeli bezindiza abavela ezindizeni ezingezansi. I-Henderson nezinye eziningana zadubula kuphela eziyisishiyagalombili zalezi zindiza ezabuyela eMidway futhi ukuhlasela akuzange kufinyelele nhlobo yize ezinye zathathwa. Ngo-17:00 kwabikwa ukuthi kunesithwali sezindiza esishisayo esingamakhilomitha angu-200 enyakatho-ntshonalanga yeMidway, futhi uMajor Norris walungiselela ama-SBD-2 ayisithupha asebenza kahle e-VMSB-241 kanye nama-SB2U-3 ayisihlanu ukuze ahlasele ebusuku. Izindiza zasuka ngo-1900, kodwa azikwazanga ukuthola umkhumbi othwala izindiza. UMajor Norris wehluleka ukubuya kulolu hambo, nakuba abanye abashayeli bezindiza bakwazi ukubuyela ekhaya ngokukhanya komlilo kawoyela kanye nezibani zokuhlola ezilwa nezindiza ezazisetshenziswa njengezibani.
