I cannot document Midway photos. However, this information and photo may be helpful: "Midway Atoll is part of a chain of volcanic islands, atolls, and seamounts extending from Hawaii up to the tip of the Aleutian Islands and known as the Hawaii-Emperor chain. Infrastructure: The atoll has some 20 miles (32 km) of roads, 4.8 miles (7.7 km) of pipelines, one port on Sand Island (World Port Index Nr. 56328, MIDWAY ISLAND), and an airfield. As of 2004, Henderson Field airfield at Midway Atoll, with its one active runway (rwy 06/24, around 8,000 feet (2,400 m) long) has been designated as an emergency diversion airport for aircraft flying under ETOPS rules. Although the FWS closed all airport operations on November 22, 2004, public access to the island was restored from March 2008.[10] Eastern Island Airstrip is a disused airfield in use by U.S. forces during the Battle of Midway. It is mostly constructed of Marsden Matting and was built by the United States Navy Seabees. Unique among the Hawaiian islands, Midway observes UTC-11 (also known as Samoa Time), eleven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time and one hour behind the state of Hawaii."

Really, really enjoyed that. The voice overs and score so typical of the time. Loved the tally posting, at the very end.

Thanks much for posting.

Re: Never knew Midway had mountains but there they are at the 7:42 mark.

The highest point on Midway Island is around 13 Meters or about 42 feet.

The 3 second clip showing either 'mountains' or dark clouds is stock US Navy color footage... from another battle in the Pacific. It was (& still is--) common for filmmakers to insert stock footage when they needed a transition or to bridge scenes where they do not have any 'original' footage in the can.
