Hi!

Further to a comment on the French Version, hereunder the schedule of air attacks coming from Midway against Kindo Buttaï.

To my point of view, the result of Naval engagement coming from TF16 & TF17 is linked to the Midway defender early action.
Nagumo derogates to initial action plan, mainly due to not academic SBD gliding attack, then B26 Son of Satan in fire running to crash on the deck of Akagi.

Should anybody have other information or point of view...

BuNo 2058 / 2088 / 2071 / 2072 (delivered Dec 17) are not listed since I'm able to match BuNo to # and crew.
Part of them was on ground. 2071 / 2072 surely destroyed June 4.

Please note I modified the 1st picture of October 10 send.

Since I was working cockpit,using a picture it appears to me that BuNos number supply in the box are subject to comments.
Pilots action reports and plane listing doesn't permitted surely place plane number on BuNo. Only number 2 is sure.

Should anybody have more information...

Should I refer to #3 and #9 picture from J.Ford colorized movie, it seems white strips border are not Navy blue. (#6 is navy blue)
Should be something like olive drap... don't know. Could be finishing varnish or whatever.
So I'll use olive.
