Japanese Quote by Charles River Editors
““Despite all of these important drawbacks, the Americans still won the battle convincingly, thanks mostly to the killer blows struck by one weapons system: the US Dauntless dive bomber. When these bombers were used correctly in dive bombing attacks (instead of the gliding technique coming in across the horizon), they swamped the Japanese defenses at a crucial moment, attacking en masse.””
