Question: How important was airpower in US fight v. Japanese, '41-42 (Battle of Midway)

Torpedo planes may not have enough fuel to safely fly back to the carrier. Hornet fighters would have to ditch their planes in mid air. Admiral Fletcher was then forced to launch his planes much later than the designated time.

When the last bombers took off, others have already finished with their primary targets and were working on their secondary targets. In an interview with Navy Commander M.A. Merril, he recalls the primary target including a ship called Soryu was already on fire by the time he got in formation.

 Freedom Summer was an organization that failed because it was non-violent. Their non-violent nature allowed them to be vulnerable to attack. They tried to help African Americans participate in the government, but in return, lots were killed.
