Web. 13 November 2012. <http://www.history.navy.mil/docs/wwii/mid1.htm>. This is the first primary document I found. It will be useful but not extremely helpful because it is very hard to read. It is organize by attacks that happened in the war which can also get confusing. Unlike the photographs of the war machines and attacks, this is a document so it will tell me when the attacks happened, on what ship and where it happened. Battle of Midway. 1942. Photograph. Library of Congress, n.p This picture had helped me a great deal because it would go perfect with the final product of my project. The picture also had great significance so it was a great choice to choose this photo for my project. Also, the source was very reliable. Dudley, William. Public Access Wildlife Refuge System.

Selee 2 At first I was not sure if I should use this site because the article title was really off topic, but then when I started to read it, I found that it was a speech given about the Battle of Midway by a veteran from the war. This speech was given at the midway memorial. This source is very different from the other ones because it is in the year 2005 and it is not about action in the war, it is talking about people who served and how dreadful the war is.

First photograph of the Battle of Midway - June 1942--A Japanese heavy cruiser of the Mogami class after having been bombed by U.S. carrier-based naval aircraft. Photograph. 1942 June. Web. November 7th 2012. <http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/96507010/> This Primary source I found will be very useful for our website. Every websites needs pictures, this pictures shows what war Japanese submarines were like in the Battle of Midway. This picture is a photograph from the war. The picture can be more useful than words because of its detail and the topic of the picture. Fuchida, Mitcho. "Five Fatal Minutes: Japanese Carriers Crippled, Battle of Midway, 4 June 1942."

This is my first database source, but once again another great source. This is one of the

Selee 3 best documents I have found yet. It is written as things were happening and how people were reacting when this happened. It talks about what they see when they are planning to attack, and if they succeeded or not. I only wish that it talked more about the navy because that was a major part of this battle, almost all of it was fought on sea. A Japanese Bomber Scores a Direct Hit on the USS YORKTOWN, Aircraft Carrier, despite a Tornado of Anti-aircraft Fire, Battle of Midway, in the Pacific, June 3rd to June 6th, 1942. 1942. Photograph. Washington D.C. This is another picture; there are not many Primary documents on the battle of midway that I can find so I am going to need pictures. This one is also a photograph but it is spectacular picture. It is a picture of the Japanese hitting the USS aircraft carrier with a bomb. This picture will go great for the website; I wish these photographs had color. "Roosevelt, Franklin D." World War II Reference Library. Ed. Barbara C. Bigelow, et al. Vol. 4: Primary Sources.

This source was not one of the better ones for my research, and it showed as well. While the source seemed reliable, the information had a misleading title. I was under the

Selee 4 assumption that this would have the American reaction of the attack of Midway, but it had revealed nothing at all.

Secondary Sources "Battle of Midway." Encyclopdia Britannica. Encyclopdia Britannica Online. Encyclopdia Britannica Inc., 2012. Web. 15 Nov. 2012 <http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/381684/Battle-of-Midway>. This is my first encyclopedia I have found. The reason I like encyclopedias so much is because it tells you information that a lot of websites do not. For example, most people think that the battle of midway was fought only on sea, but a little of it was fought on land and a lot of it was fought in the air. It also tells me major generals that were in the battle, I have not found information like this in any of my other sources. "Battle of Midway." - World War 2 on History. Ed. HIstory. History, n.d. Web. 15 Nov. 2012. <http://www.history.co.uk/explore-history/ww2/battle-of-midway.html>. This website was not like most websites I have found. What it did is it had an article and then a video showing what happened in the article from the battle of midway. They were not the best facts but the video was really good and it showed how the battle was mostly fought on sea and air. I thought I was not going to like the website because of the article but the video it had made like the source. "Battle of Midway - WORLD WAR II - Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet Museum." Battle of Midway - WORLD WAR II - Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet Museum. USS HORNET, 1999. Web. 15 Nov. 2012. <http://www.uss-hornet.org/history/wwii/midway.shtml>. This is a fantastic website. Nothing in this disappointed me at all. There were cold hard facts, direct photographs, and the organization that made the website is a foundation for

Selee 5 aircraft carriers. These main reason I liked the website so much is that they help with the aircraft carriers and that was the biggest and most important ship in the battle of midway, and still used today. "The Battle of Midway, 1942." Eyewitness to History. Ibis Communications, n.d. Web. 15 Nov. 2012. <http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/midway.htm>. I was disappointed in this website. It said that there were eyewitness accounts in the article but there were none. Although other than that, the website gave me great information. I was unaware that there were different battles in this article so it got confusing. I do not think that this is the best article to use. "Battle of Midway." U*X*L Encyclopedia of U.S. History.

This article was very helpful in my research. While it was not the best, it provided a good amount of information on my topic, and even dove into specifics on each subtopic. The source was reliable and I believe it had helped me significantly to get a good final product.

This article was not as helpful as I would have hoped it to be. It was a good article, it just did not answer any of the questions I had going into this one. The source is reliable but the questions just could not be answered; I am sure my colleagues will find some use for this information. Troy, Price J. "Midway, Battle of (3-6 June 1942)." World War II A Political. By MacDonald B. Charels. Vol. III. Santa Barbara: ABC CLIO, 2005. 988-91. Print. This is the first book source I have found, and also the first secondary source I have found. It talks about how the battle of midway was one of the only battles that was fought almost entirely on sea. It also talks about how it was one of the biggest battles in WWII. This battle was the main turning point in the world war. Tuleja, Thaddeus V. "Midway, Battle of." Dictionary of American History. Ed. Stanley I. Kutler. 3rd ed. Vol. 5.

This article was very helpful to me, and probably will be to my friends as well. The information was good quality, and there was a lot of it. The only con I can find out of this source is that the book does not just cover the Battle of Midway, but World War Two in general. Besides that minor flaw, everything else about the source is magnificent. Wagner, Margaret E., David M. Kennedy, Linda Barrett Osborne, and Susan Reyburn. The Library of Congress World War II Companion. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2007. Print. This source was extremely helpful. It was a long book but it was jam packed with the information I was looking for. The source was extremely reliable and the information was legitimate. I would definitely come back to this book in the future for more information.
