About Scattered Far and Wide Commissioned on the eve of World War II, the men of the US Naval Academy’s Class of 1938 faced the trials of combat as new officers from the early days of American involvement. Tested as young leaders, they bore the new burden of command while at the fore of the Pacific war’s largest and most pivotal campaigns. From Pearl Harbor through the end of the war, these men fought and struggled for survival as part of the Navy’s Asiatic Fleet. Some were captured and sent to brutal prisoner-of-war camps; others took to the air as members of torpedo, bomber, and fighter squadrons during the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. A number served aboard submarines, experiencing some of the most legendary patrols in the history of the Silent Service. Through firsthand accounts and deep research, Justin Laborde brings their stories of courage, sacrifice, and survival vividly to life, shedding new light on their service and legacies.

Raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Justin now lives with his wife, Amanda, and their three children in Cary, North Carolina.

The Battle of Midway
One of Japan’s main goals during World War II was to remove the United States as a Pacific power in order to gain territory in east Asia and the southwest Pacific islands. Japan hoped to defeat the US Pacific Fleet and use Midway as a base to attack Pearl Harbor, securing dominance in the region and then forcing a negotiated peace.

The Battle of Coral Sea: A Retrospective
Often overshadowed by the Battle of Midway, the hard-fought carrier naval battle in May 1942 in the waters of the Coral Sea north of Australia marked the end of the phase of Japanese triumphs in the Pacific War and proved to be of strategic significance.
