Mitchell's theories were only proved correct when it became possible to field enough aircraft on target to swamp the target's defenses. Actually Mitchell's theories were never proven correct, as no battleship, underway with AA manned, was ever sunk by level bombing from altitude with unguided bombs.

Yes, good distinction between level, dive and torpedo bombing...
