[ARC5] YE-ZB at Midway

[Robert Eleazer]

At the Battle of Midway all 10 of the F-4F Wildcat fighters launched by the USS Hornet failed to find the IJN fleet, then failed to find their carrier, and ditched.

I wondered why the YE-ZB system did not work for them, or if they even had it on board, and I recently read a piece in the book "From The Flight Deck" that explains what occurred.  If anyone is interested I will scan that section and e-mail it to you.
