Ahh....the good old days before history channel was dominated by dumb apocalyptic crap, pawn stores, and shows like big shrimpin and swamp people. The days when it was actually history. When we honored those who fought for our country....
Now all it is is Holy Grail crap and hick shows....
@sunnchilde the Enterprise continued to use the SBD dive bomber even in the battle of phillipine sea and replaced them with SB2C only before the battle of leyte gulf. But other carriers used the SB2C already from the battle of phillipine sea or even earlier.
the Japanese did not make any mistakes when it came to carriers. the y took a leaf out of our book and moved them out like we did at Pearl. but they made a mistake when it came to transports and tankers they left them in the harbor and we sank them. but they also knew we were coming so they placed their big guns in the harbor to try to shoot us down. Big Mistake: say hello to Pearl Harbor boys Truk is going to die.
i think it was the battle of leyte gulf episode but i remember hearing that the Japanese had multi-colored flak. I noticed you know a ton about world war 2 so do you know what happened? thanks!
Yes, the Japanese used different colored flak in order to differentiate which ships were firing at which group of aircraft. For example, a destroyer would spew purple colored flak to indicate that they were shooting a certain group of planes. Meanwhile, a carrier would fire yellow flak in order to signify that they were firing at a different group of planes. This was all created to decrease the confusion between which ships had which aircraft in emergency situations.

By this point in the war, and when they attacked Truk, I thought they were using the SB2C Curtiss Helldiver.

It is also used to measure, because they didn't have the accurate technology like the americans. So they missed most of the time
