What weapons were used in the battle of the coral sea?
Warships from both sides were using their ship's AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery). The fighting occurred strictly between warplanes: Fighters, Dive Bombers, and Torpedoe Bombers. Planes fought planes, and planes ATTACKED ships.
What aircrafts were in World War 2?
IJN Kate torpedo planes USN Avenger torpedo planes IJN Val dive bombers USN Dauntless dive bombers IJN Zero fighters USN Hellcat fighters (Specifically designed by Grumman to kill the Zero)
What were the bombs and torpedoes used by the planes at the Battle of Midway called?
Standard aerial general purpose H-E & Armor piercing bombs, and aerial torpedoes. If you're looking for model/type numbers, then you would need to look up on the websites the actual machines, which would state what type of ordnance they would carry: For the IJN Kate Torpedo bombers & Val Dive Bombers. For the USN, Vindicator & Dauntless Dive bombers; Devastator & Avenger Torpedo Bombers.
How was luck involved in the Battle of Midway?
1. Luck that the US dive bombers found the carriers. 2. Luck that the IJN carriers were loaded with fueling and arming airplanes; no better target could ever be imagined! 3. Luck that the IJN fighters had vacated the high altitudes (which would have gotten the dive bombers) and dove into the attack on the torpedo bombers instead. Another words, the IJN warship's AAA could have shot down the USN torpedo planes without much effort. Hitting the USN torpedo planes with fighters too, simply made the slaughter easier. But they forgot about the dive bombers...and that's what did it!
How many American planes in the marianes turkey shoot?
