Aichi D3A

rdfs:comment

The Aichi D3A, (Allied reporting name "Val") was a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). It was the primary dive bomber in the Imperial Japanese Navy, and participated in almost all actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in World War II, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Force Base. During the course of the Second World War, the Val dive bomber sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraft. The D3A was used with great effect in the raids on Pearl Harbor and against American carriers during the opening days of the invasion of Hawaii. The D3A proved decisive in winning the battle for Hawaii as the dive bomber supported the Imperial Japanese Army, helping clear out American strongpoints and artillery positions.

The Aichi D3A, (Allied reporting name "Val") was a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). It was the primary dive bomber in the Imperial Japanese Navy, and participated in almost all actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in World War II, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Force Base. During the course of the Second World War, the Val dive bomber sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraft. The D3A was used with great effect in the raids on Pearl Harbor and against American carriers during the opening days of the invasion of Hawaii. The D3A proved decisive in winning the battle for Hawaii as the dive bomber supported the Imperial Japanese Army, helping clear out American strongpoints and artillery positions. The Aichis were also decisive in the Japanese success against the first US attempt to retake Hawaii, but by the spring of 1943, the Aichis had become obsolescent. During the Second Battle of the North Pacific the D3As were largely devoid of proper air cover and were all shot down, without doing significant damage to the US fleet.
