Fight's On from Neptunus Lex
Sixty-seven years ago today, the great clash of fleets known as the "Battle of Midway" was joined, almost exactly six months after IJN Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto told the Japanese cabinet during his planning for Pearl Harbor that he, "I can run wild for six months, but after that I have no expectation of success."
He was right: When the battle ended two days later, four of the six carriers he had used at Pearl Harbor sunk to the bottom, Soryu, Hiryu, Kaga and Akagi, and the Japanese were thrown on the defensive for the rest of the war.
This was the beginning of the end.

A Story Of Courage, Committment and Success - All Things Aviation
Seriously wounded and left in a wheelchair, one would imagine that his dream was over. But not for Quincey!

But that alone was not enough for this tough young man. Today he is a commercial pilot and has started working as a ground instructor at a startup flight school at the Hayward, CA airport. This during his free time from two other jobs he works at so that he can continued his flight training.
