The official download link is broken

The publisher’s page for A MAGNIFICANT FIGHT: MARINES IN THE BATTLE FOR WAKE ISLAND is still up, but the “download” button on it points at a file that returns HTTP 404 when we checked on 2026-09-01. The page exists; the document behind it does not. We record this publication as current, so this is a gap in the official portal rather than a sign the publication was withdrawn.
