The Japanese used both high altitude bombers and dive bombers on the Pearl Harbor raid.
Why?
It seems to me that dive bombers would offer greater accuracy, penetration and pilot survivability why then use high altitude bombers?
Could the high alt bombers carry greater loads?
Was it just part of a coordinated attack and gave the enemy one more thing to worry about?
