The U.S. Navy continued using propeller-driven attack aircraft well into the 1950s, with the last major variant, the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, remaining in service until the early 1970s. While jet aircraft began to dominate naval aviation after World War II, the Skyraider was valued for its versatility and effectiveness in close air support roles during conflicts like the Vietnam War. Ultimately, the transition to all-jet fleets marked the end of the propeller-driven era in naval aviation.
The first country to use aircraft carriers in World War II was Japan. They effectively deployed their aircraft carriers during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, showcasing the strategic importance of naval aviation. The successful surprise attack marked a significant shift in naval warfare, highlighting the capabilities of aircraft carriers in modern combat.

Aircraft carriers (aircraft).
I know the United States has 9 aircraft carriers. Rest of the world??
No jet aircraft were used in WW1.
They defended their aircraft from attack from the rear.
December 7 & September 11 are very similar. Both were surprise attacks. Both occurred on US soil. Both were conducted by AIRCRAFT. Both attacks had similar numbers of casualties. Both attacks were caught on film. Both brought the US into GLOBAL WAR; World War II & The Global "WAR ON TERRORISM." Differences: 1. December 7, was NOT a suicide attack by aircraft, but a conventional air raid (aerial attack). September 11, WAS a suicide attack by aircraft. 2. December 7, was an attack by Japanese WARPLANES. September 11, was an attack by OUR OWN CIVILIAN Airplanes (Hi-jacked/Captured). 3. December 7, was an attack by HUNDREDS of aircraft. September 11, was an attack by only 3 or 4 aircraft (two into the World Trade Center buildings; one into the Pentagon, and one into an open field). 4. December 7, was an attack by Aircraft Carrier Launched Airplanes; September 11, was an attack by Land Based (Civilian) Aircraft.
fighter, bomber, transport, escort, attack, etc. (basically the same as today)
It is acceptable to attack military civilian targets. All sides did it in World War II, Vietnam, etc.

The first attack on mainland Japan in WWII was the Doolittle raid by B-25 aircraft launched from the USS Enterprise on 18 April 1942.
In world war 2 on December 7, 1941 at 5 minutes past 6 the first wave of aircraft attacked
The World War I "Immelmann turn" was an attack maneuver used by German Max Immelmann and may have been originated by him. An 'Immelman Turn' is a semi-loop with the aircraft turning in mid-loop to come down on the tail of an attacking aircraft.

so that we could attack at all angles and bomb them by air
I am interested in the conflict in the Eastern Bank because if the Palestinians and the Jews cannot learn to live together, and learn it very soon, it will continue to have negative ramifications for the world at large. Terrorists will continue to attack people, and violence levels will continue to escalate.
