The Snows fly to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to give a blow-by-blow account of the battle of Midway. It was the birth of a new type of sea warfare where bombers did all the damage, and enemy ships wouldn't even see each other.

Dan tells the pilots' stories, and experiences for himself what it would have been like for the sailors.
