P.S. I made a mistake on Halsey's order, it was also late afternoon 8-14. Now corrected

And then, just maybe the SBDs will catch the IJN decks full with attack planes unable to take off...Mitsuo Fuchida would have nightmares again!

You go Yossarian! M&M, all the way...

and

Enterprise and Hornet vs. Akagi, Shoho, Ryujo in Coral Sea.

Well, without factoring land air, i'd give advantage to Halsey in Banda Sea, and maybe Enterprise and Hornet in Coral Sea. WITH land air, it's anyone's fight!

Yes, I'm still avidly following and enjoying this thread!

Bingo. Yorktown is late for the fight, just having refueled in Brisbane. Wasp is playing goose to some Goslings as is Hermes..and Long Island is steaming around aimlessly int he Indian Ocean trying to get the Japs to waste a torpedo on her.

Yes..I hosed everything down, went to bed..got up at dawn and went out to get another crew in the morning. The first lot were nowhere to be found, even though I bought lunch. Took us about 5 hrs the second day..and it had "cooled" down to 93.

If I can get my daughter to show me how to upload a pic to the comp...I will post a pic.

Multicarrier coodinated strikes like that didn't become routine for the USN until 1944 in the real world. It take guts to launch SBDs 220 miles out from the target.

I wonder what the white stuff from the B-25 was?
