<p>Map showing the attacks of Midway-based aircraft on the Japanese Striking Force during the Battle of Midway on 4 June 1942.<br>
Note: the numbers and types of the aircraft used are not entirely correct:<br>
1. The "25 Brewsters" were actually 21 Brewster F2A-3 <i>Buffalo</i> and 3 Grumman F4F-3 <i>Wildcat</i>; one F2A had to return to base due to engine trouble and two additional F4F had to land before the attack to be refueled.<br></p>
4. The "27 SBD bombers" were 16 Douglas SBD-2 <i>Dauntless</i> and 11 Vought SB2U-3 <i>Vindicator</i>. The latter attacked later due to the lower cruising speed.
