+Battle of Midway

+

Battle of Midway In early 1942, the Americans had broken the Japanese Naval Code. They knew something was up because a specific identifier was appearing in many Japanese messages – AF – they did not know which location AF stood for. They knew it was a location, but where? In order to find out, the commander on Midway Island was told to send a message that their Water Purification plant was not working. Within days, Japanese coded messages started to state the AF was getting thirsty. By May the Americans knew AF was Midway Island. They were able to prepare for the Japanese attack and win with very little loss.
