Shadows Over the Coral Sea: How American Flyers Stopped a Japanese Invasion at Long Range
Headline Wednesday: Battle of the Coral Sea, World War II follows the first carrier-versus-carrier clash where opposing fleets never trade gunfire in sight of one another. American and Japanese task forces probe across a vast stretch of the Coral Sea as pilots launch into gray skies, hunting convoys and carriers that exist only as bearings and radio reports. Port Moresby, Australia’s northern lifeline, hangs in the balance as Yorktown and Lexington duel Shokaku, Zuikaku, and Shoho at long range. This episode is the Wednesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine and is developed by Trackpads.com, bringing the tension of carrier decks, radio rooms, and plotting tables to life.
