I’ve always been intrigued by “razor thin” what-ifs during WW2. One of these that occurred to me is;
What if Wade McCluskey did not spot the destroyer Arashi (or the Arashi continues it’s search for the Nautilus longer, so is not there)? As I recall the SBDs were very low on fuel at that point, so without a sighting, they would have returned to Enterprise. How would this have impacted the order of battle at Midway?
