Edward "Butch" O'Hare became the US Navy's first "ace in a day" and first Medal of Honor fighter pilot when he was credited with destroying five Japanese Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" medium bombers in a single flight, and damaging a sixth. Japanese records indicate he actually destroyed three and damaged three. O'Hare and his wingman were the only fighters aloft when the flight of nine Bettys approached O'Hare's carrier, the USS Lexington (CV 2). The wingman's guns jammed, leaving O'Hare as the sole protection for his ship. O'Hare's fierce attack broke up the Japanese bombing attack and the Lexington remained undamaged.
Later in 1942 O'Hare destroyed a Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter plane.
because why their enemies
No, the answer is Eddie Rickenbacker.
If it's a long war, then he can get more planes. A short war, less planes. A matter of math.
England during the 1st and 2nd world wars needed rapid fighter planes to shoot down the enemies bombers and to dual with the enemies fighter planes.
The U.S. Navy had approximately 915 combat aircraft (fighters, dive-bombers, and torpedo bombers) on fifteen aircraft carriers during the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.
The guns used in war to shoot down planes are called antiaircraft guns.
To shoot other planes down or to carry cargo.
No. Missiles gotta be able to detect planes in the radar in order get a lock on because missiles need to get a lock on to shoot down planes but planes fly in really high altitudes, this makes it even more difficult to detect planes on radar.
you drop bombs on the bridge and planes and empty the rest of them on the deck then you shoot the remaining planes and shoot the guns on the side of the boat
Some of them are easy to shoot down and some of them are not so the answer is yes and no.
