Scott McCuskey
During the Battle of Midway on 4 June 1942, Lt. McCuskey was part of the CAP that protected Task Force 17.  His first sea duty was aboard the carrier USS Yorktown on convoy escort and neutrality patrol duties. The routine quickly changed after 7 December 1941. The Yorktown was reassigned to the Pacific and the men of VF-42 readied themselves and their aircraft for the action to come. McCuskey first tasted combat on 1 February 1942 when he and his wingman, Johnny Adams, downed a Kawanishi Type 97 Flying Boat off the Marshall islands–it was the first aerial victory for both Fighting 42 and the Yorktown. In May 1942, during the Battle of the Coral Sea,  he and His division intercepted the first strike wave of 18 Aichi D3A dive bombers from the undamaged Hiryū led by Lieutenant Michio Kobayashi. During the Battle of Midway, on June 4, 1942 McCuskey had six victories and three probables.  After this epic  engagement he  returned stateside.  He retired as a captain from the US Navy in 1965 and later passed away in 1997.

Ensign George H. Gay Jr.
Of the 15 Devastators and 30 aircrew of VT-8, at the battle of Midway, George Gay was the only survivor of Torpedo Squadron 8. All 15 torpedoes failed to score any hits. The other torpedo squadrons, VT-3 and VT-6, also failed to score any torpedo hits while each lost ten aircraft in the process; only six Devastators out of 41 launched returned to their home carriers. Wounded, floating in the ocean  the situation looked bleak for Ensign Gay.  He could only cheer and holler as the American dive bombers attacked the Japanese aircraft carriers . Surviving this engagement and the rest of the war he achieved the rank of Lieutenant  Commander before leaving the service. Lieutenant  Commander Gay  lived to the age of 77 passing away in October 1994.

Mitsuo Fuchida
Was a naval aviator. He is perhaps best known for leading the first wave of air attacks on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Working under the overall fleet commander, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the entire aerial attack.  He was also on the aircraft carrier Akagi at the battle of Midway where he survived the sinking of  Akagi and returned to Japan.

Lieutenant General Okumiya
Served throughout WWII, including on the aircraft carrier Ryujo and with the 2nd air fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy. During 1942–1943, he served as chief of staff of the 26th Naval Air Squadron, and was appointed to a staff post in August 1944. He was promoted to his final rank of commander in November 1944.  Okumiya was said to be experienced, intelligent and logical. His professional interest and enthusiasm were combined with accuracy, frankness and a knowledge of detail which made him an excellent source of information.
