  1. 5:25 "As the Japanese had been told by the Army that they had, in fact, captured the airfield. This little omission didn't really do that much for Japanese Navy and Japanese Army relations, although, to be perfectly honest, there weren't that many bridges to burn at this point."

  2.  @tcpratt1660  It was MUCH worse than that. Read "Shattered Sword" by Parshall. At the end, he does a 'what if' speculation about how the IJN landings at Midway would have gone down, had they occurred. It was NOT good. It was Tarawa-level bad. Midway and Tarawa are both atolls. They share oceanic topographies. Thus, amphib assaults have identical problems. Except this time, it wouldn't be the USMC slogging thru the lagoon. This time, it was the USMC that was dug in and waiting. Fish in a barrel.
