Re: Navy F4F vs Zero
Hello CJE
Those combats happened during the attack on Shoho, was that around 11 AM on the 7th? Macomber was first to attack Zero but Imamura, using his a/c's better manouevrability, was working towards his tail when Bassett intervened and forced Imamura to disenagage. Bassett also claimed that he probably got some hits to Imamura's Zero but it could still draw away from him. And after that Haas attacked. So there was 3 F4Fs attacking one Zero. Macomber was first to attack but Haas was first to kill. It seems that I left one important "the" out in my earlier message.
