This is a good video and shows how Spruance’s decision to launch uncoordinated air strikes possibly ended up in being a large part of the US victory.
He did us ethe proper sources after all...

Yes, decent sources but mainly tertiary ones. As one moves from primary sources one sees more creativity with the historical facts. But he did a good job piecing it together and presenting a narrative that follows the primary source material/facts that are/were available.
Do not recall it being covered but will watch again to see if he covers the flight to nowhere from the USS Hornet. Or the Hornets actions in the key part of the battle.
Thanks again for the post. It has been a long time since I have seen these; was nice to be reminded of them.
