Hi gents,
I am looking for details about the equipment of US carrier groups betwen 1939 and 1941. So far, I just have found out that the SBD-2 began to be received in april 1940 and it took to late 41 to fully reequip and train crews with that plane. Your help is greatly appreciated! What were the dive bomber plane types in use on which of the large carriers before the introduction of the SBD? What about their quantity? How about the torpedo bomber? The TBD-1 was avaiable but only about 100 planes were produced, hardly enough to equip all US carriers. I tend to think that the period in question is barely covered at all.
thanks in advance,
