Re: Navy F4F vs Zero

It seems to have legs.
Frank Olynyk list Macomber's prey as an Aichi Type 99 dive bomber.
AFAK, "Vals" had a fixed u/c, something Macomber cannot have missed.
But, you're right, great was the confusion in the recognition manuals at that time... Not speaking of "Me 109's", I even found a "Kagekiki VT" - wonder where this name came from?

Thank you very much, Juha. I think the matter is settled.
