Throughout the day, small numbers of U.S. aircraft spotted Japanese ships, but were not successful in any attacks on them. It was not until the next day that the Battle of Midway began in earnest. The strike did not succeed in disabling the airfield or destroying many aircraft. The Japanese planes had been spotted en route to Midway and defenders there had put their own planes in the air and prepared themselves for the attack. All rights reserved.
