Default Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII

My guess would be a lack of training for the pilots who flew most of the missions. Most could not navigate or identify ships from the air and attacked the first thing they saw, which was usually the radar picket ships.

Also a lack of fighter cover from experienced pilots made the poorly trained pilots sitting ducks for US Navy fighters.
