Lets not forget that it was this dive bomber that landed many a bomb on the decks of Jap carriers at the Battle of Midway.

Actually, it wasn't. It did not enter service until after the battle of Midway. The dive bomber was the Douglas Dauntless.

They made due with the tools they had. It took a lot of training, grit and guts to get the results they did. The pilots make the difference.
