Oh, just saw the addendum: yes, I’m actually going to combine forces for Midway: Dirt Divers will be flying off the island, while the Pelicans are flying off the Yorktown.

And thank goodness I don’t have any Buffaloes! Plus these Marines are already established in Wildcats.  I think in real life the Marines had four Wildcats ashore, though the rest (~18 or so?) were Buffaloes.  We’ll also see TBFs for the first time (ashore, from VT-8), and my B-25s will be standing in for some B-26 Marauders.
