History of Dive Bombing

Even our sempais in 1st CarDiv must have sucked at dive bombing at first!!

It is said that Japan first experimented with dive bombing in Showa 4 (1929) when the Navy Type 3 Carrier Fighter was introduced. And in the next annual sea trial...

100% hit rate achieved! My aircraft did it!

In Showa 9 (1934), the Type 94 Carrier Bomber entered production. Among the 1st CarDiv in Showa 10 (1935), consisting of Ryuujou and Houshou at the time, Ryuujou was the one equipped with the new bombers.

Parent of Dive Bombing Instruction: Wada Tetsujiro (Later, he boarded Houshou, Hiryuu, Souryuu, and Shoukaku too)

At the time, the small group of 32 dive-bombing squadron flight leaders represented the beginning of Japan's dive-bombing history

You're useless if you forget the basics.
