Interesting discussion of Marc Mitscher as CO of USS Hornet and its air group's non-participation in the decisive part of the battle. Remarks by John Lundstrom among others.

What is there to discuss? Carrier operations were new. Nagumo screwed up with indecision. If Mitscher held back that is the fog of war. Running on 20/20 hindsight from armchair admirals decades later.
