This project will explore sunken aircraft associated with the Battle of Midway adding an important maritime heritage component to our understanding of the broader history of World War II in the Pacific. 2017 is the 75th Anniversary year of this significant event and this project aims to raise awareness and honor the legacy of the brave men who helped to turn the tide in the Pacific during the course of the Battle of Midway. The material culture associated with this Battle is critical to understanding connections and making comparisons between Pacific regions, and better comprehending the Pacific Front of WWII. Sunken aircraft represent the tangible evidence of our nation's naval maritime and aviation legacy and hold potential for engaging the public as well as the application of cutting edge technology and multidisciplinary survey. This project proposes to investigate legacy magnetometer anomalies, collect and ground-truth additional magnetometry data utilizing technical, deep rebreather diving, and make discoveries that enrich the maritime and aviation history of Midway Atoll. Additionally, it serves as an opportunity for progressive multidisciplinary invasive species survey in collaboration with PMNM's resource protection program and advanced 3D imagery documentation and analysis. The success of this project's exploration is increased through efforts to combine oral history research and remote sensing. Further, the multidisciplinary nature of the project is exemplary in demonstrating the comprehensive nature of OER research projects, from exploration to interpretation and dissemination, and inclusive of remote sensing, archaeological, and biological survey through advanced technologies.
