This historical figure among many others will be in the upcoming Midway movie.

I am looking forward to the movie. The earlier one if you could edit out Charleston Heston and family was really entertaining. My first acquaintance with the battle came from the book War and Remembrance the follow up of Winds of War. History beats fiction because it's real.

Read those books and saw the series based on them.
