Midway atoll is a ring of small volcanic islands 1,300 miles West of Hawaii. It has served over it's lifetime as a whaling camp, luxury hotel, and military base.

Corrections:
1. The plane at 2:07 is a Boeing, not a Martin M130 as stated. The China Clipper planes were Martin M130s.
2. ˌärkəˈpeləˌɡō and atˌôl pronunciation
3. People have mentioned the aircraft carrier was anachronistic.
