True. They made a perfect coordinated attack...almost completely by dumb luck. The Zeroes were all down deimating the torpedo bombers, when the dive bombers finally found the carriers and rolled in on them. Definitely fifteen minutes that changed history.
As Bismarck said, "God looks out for fools, drunkards, and the United States of America."
It was not a coordinated attack otherwise the torpedo squadrons would not been decimated. The Coral Sea battle was coordinated where all the elements (torpedo bombers, divebombers and fighters) arrived at the same time to overwhelm the defending fighters. It was dumb luck of timing for the dive-bombers. The other problem was the bad torpedoes which would not go boom. The failure at Midway doomed the TBMs to be used as high level bombers for the rest war with a few exceptions. Dad (now departed) flew 2-T-10 off the Lex but was transferred off a week before the Coral Sea battle otherwise, I wouldn’t be here. His ex-plane was the only one that didn’t make it back (ran out of gas). He directed gunsight and bombsight development for the rest of the war and was aware of the research that went into solving the torpedo problem. He loss a lot of friends at Midway.
