Re: Why the USAAF gave up on the A-36 in favour of the P-47.

Thank you, Graham.

I would only make the point that it is not my repetition that makes "the divebomber .. the best solution for air-to-ground in all circumstances", but the fact that the dive-bomber was uniquely accurate in an environment where a near miss didn't cut it, and was worse than useless because it wasted scarce resources.
