Aichi D3A - Part three

The most famous action of the Aichi D3A Val was the attack on Pearl Harbour and all the subsequent aeronaval battles that happened 10 months after. They achieved various big successes like scoring an 80% of hits in their raids on the Indian Ocean against Royal Navy warships. They managed to hit two British heavy cruisers and an aircraft carrier with their bombs in April 1942.
Generally they acted together with the Nakajima B5N Kate torpedo bomber making their combination of dive bombing and torpedo runs, very effective. Without counting Pearl Harbour strike, the Vals were responsible for the sinking of 14 allied warships, among them 10 destroyers, 2 heavy cruisers, one aircraft carrier and one armed merchant cruiser. Certainly a true record that make of the Val the Axis airplane that destroyed more allied ships.
