This week Seth, Bill and Jon Parshall tackle the second day of the Battle of the Philippine Sea, also known as the Mission Beyond Darkness. On Jun e20, 1944 Admiral Marc Mitscher made the bold decision to launch his aviators in a risky, long-distanced duck strike. In an attempt to get the killing blows on Ozawa's carrier force Mitscher sent an enormous strike of 240 aircraft. The strike, the first on Japanese carriers since 1942, produced mixed results and ended in one of the more famous, if not controversial, decisions of the entire Pacific war.
