The B-26 crews launched from Midway. The movie shows many of them when there was only four. I REALLY wish Midway had profiled the crew of the "Suzi Q", Piloted by Bill Muri. Those guys skimmed the deck of the Akagi to avoid attack. The Nose Gunner straffed the deck, killing one or two Sailors. They actually made it back to Midway.
