While the U.S. Navy had embraced the concept as an accurate means of attacking enemy ships using aircraft, the Air Corps saw no real need to embrace the idea and felt that bombardment by heavy or medium bombers from large formations in level flight was more than adequate. 1 The original Baby Carmen served with However, the success of the Luftwaffe’s use the 526th FBS, 86th FBG, while operating of the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka in this role during in the MTO, and these markings have the early Blitzkrieg campaigns in Europe and been faithfully reproduced on the Collings Foundation’s restored example.

  • CRAC Recwings
    DecemberDecember 20162016 JanuaryJanuary 20172017 December 2016/January 2017 Nothing on the clock but the maker’s name… Brian Greenwood It was one of those weekends, not much time to go flying but too much to stay home. A few circuits were in order to keep the engine exercised and the pilot in touch with his plane. A nice, easy, gentle exercise which I still enjoy. A landing, done properly, is still the best bit. I hate scenes in movies where they show an aircraft landing but cut before touch down. How do we know if it was a good one? Don’t they understand that it’s the entire point ?! Or am I being a little OCD here… Back to the subject, in this case there was a nice gentle easterly blowing with a Nor’West change due a few hours later. In other words, it was a typical Canterbury late spring morning. The take-off on 07 was uneventful but by the time I got to base it was beginning to get a little lively. Nothing too spectacular but enough to make me only select two notches of flap for landing (it always seems to handle better in lumpy landings with only two notches). By the time I was down to short finals I was weighing up my options and trying to keep a little extra speed in hand. It seemed quite gusty in my lightweight plane! Within a couple of feet of the ground I thought I had enough control to get one wheel down and slow her from there, but it wasn’t to be.

The carriers immediately went to General Quarters on what had already been an eventful morning. Using the clouds as cover, the Japanese aircraft managed to reach a point above ‘Taffy 1’ without being seen. Suddenly, at 0740 hrs, an A6M5 Reisen dived out of the clouds directly into the escort carrier USS Santee (CVE-29), crashing through its flightdeck on the port side forward of the elevator. Just 30 seconds later a second ‘Zeke’ dived towards the USS Suwannee (CVE-27), while a third targeted USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) – anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) fire managed to shoot down both fighters. Then, at 0804 hrs, a fourth ‘Zeke’ dived on the Petrof Bay, but when hit by AAA it swerved and crashed into the flightdeck of Suwanee, blowing a hole in it forward of the aft elevator.

In mid, the Japanese Navy issued the Shi specification for a monoplane carrier-based dive bomber to replace the existing D1A biplane then in service. The Aichi design started with low-mounted elliptical wings inspired by the Heinkel He 70 Blitz. It flew slowly enough that the drag from the landing gear was not a serious issue, so fixed gear was used for simplicity. The first prototype was completed in Decemberand flight trials began a month later. Initial tests were disappointing. The aircraft was underpowered and suffered from directional instability in wide turns, and in tighter turns it tended to snap roll. The second aircraft was extensively modified before delivery to try to address the problems. The wings were slightly larger in span and the outer sections of the leading edges had wash-out to combat the snap rolls, and strengthened dive brakes were fitted. These changes cured all of the problems except the directional instability, and it was enough for the D3A1 to win over the Nakajima D3N1. The directional instability problem was finally cured with the fitting of a long dorsal fin -strake which started midway down the rear fuselage, and the aircraft actually became highly Aichi 99 Kanbaku Val Units: 1937-42. The pilot position was equipped with a Type 95 telescopic gunsight in the earlier models and a Aichi 99 Kanbaku Val Units: 1937-42 99 in the later models, which were used for aiming the bomb during the dive.
