I'm reading Craig Symonds' book The Battle of Midway. It's pretty good, lots of background material, but I like Shattered Sword better over all. It got me thinking about how things had been different if the Japanese had waited until July 1942 for their Midway operation. Perhaps to include Shokaku and Zuikaku in the operation. Would it have gone better or even worse for the Japanese? What do you think? Why? Follow up question: If you were Yamamoto and had decided to postpone the Midway operation until July, would you still go forward with the Aleutians operation in June?
