MIDWAY ISLANDS HISTORY Midway Islands have become the most famous locality in the northwestern part of the Hawaiian archipelago. This atoll crowns the summit of one of the last peaks in this huge mountain chain. It is 1150 nautical miles (1300 statute miles) northwest of Honolulu, 90 miles beyond Pearl and Hermes Reef, and 50 miles east of Kure, the final island of the chain. The atoll consists of a nearly circular rim of coral reef, about 5 miles in diameter, enclosing a lagoon, the central portion of which ranges in depth from 25 to 50 feet, surrounded by a considerable expanse of shallower water. Much of the reef, especially on the northeast, forms a continuous flat-topped wall, six to fifteen feet wide and standing some five feet out of the water. Some of it consists of irregular rocks, just about reaching the surface, and the west side, to the north of Seward Road, which gives entrance to Welles Harbour, is open, with only a few patches of reef. Close to the southern rim of the atoll lie two low islands. Sand Island, the larger, measures a mile and a half long by a mile wide, and has a hill which reaches a maximum elevation of 43 feet, topped by a light. Formerly composed of nearly bare sand, man has planted grass, shrubs and trees upon it until now much of it is well wooded. Eastern Island is triangular in shape, about a mile and a quarter long by three-quarters of a mile wide. Composed of more compact soil, it has supported a growth of low shrub, including native species, since long before its discovery, and consequently it has been called Green Island. Between these two there used to be a small passage, with a break in the south reef, such that a row boat might get through into the lagoon.

Transnational Issues Midway Islands Introduction Top of Page Background: The US took formal possession of the islands in 1867. The laying of the trans-Pacific cable, which passed through the islands, brought the first residents in 1903. Between 1935 and 1947, Midway was used as a refueling stop for trans-Pacific flights. The US naval victory over a Japanese fleet off Midway in 1942 was one of the turning points of World War II. The islands continued to serve as a naval station until closed in 1993. Today the islands are a wildlife refuge open to the public.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Battle of Midway History Military history List of battles World War II The Battle of Midway , fought in World War II , took place on June 5 June 4 in US time zones ). The United States Navy defeated a Japanese attack against Midway Island, marking a turning point in the war in the Pacific theatre. Fought just a month after the Battle of the Coral Sea , Midway was the first purely carrier battle. Skill, daring, and luck all played a part. The attack on the island of Midway , which also included a feint to Alaska by a smaller fleet, was a ploy by the Japanese to draw the American carrier fleet into a trap. With the remaining American ships destroyed, the Japanese hoped to invade Hawaii Midway by itself was not overly beneficial in the larger scheme of Japan's success: they were keen on concentrating on the Samoa Islands, Fiji and Australia to expand their new-found regime. However, it was close to Japan and also US territory, and it would be in the best interests of their defence to invade the islands. Typical of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto 's battle plans, the Japanese one for Midway was brazen, complicated and ingenious, and designed to lure the US fleet into an uncompromising situation.

The bird, a Laysan Albatross, is white and black. The flag will first be displayed this coming May 29th. It was designed for the Memorial Day 2000 event being held at the USS Arizona . The flag was designed by the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge staff with assistance of a National Park Service employee. As a number of people have pointed out there is no official documentation of sources and I believe this flag has no official status, other than that it will be used to represent Midway Island in a Memorial Day ceremony. To me the flag has the same status as a small US city's flag - it is accepted as the flag by the inhabitants even though the federal government hasn't given the flag official status. The flag used on the 29th will be 3:5 ratio. John Niggley
