## At a glance

- A nimble bomber with a wide strafing line. Sweep groups, then use bombs to reset the sky. In this notebook its specialty is five-gun strafer. All twelve aircraft are available from the hangar; the selection is a playful comparison of handling, not a reconstruction of historical opposing forces.

- Real aircraft design · fictional arcade handling and matchups.

## Dated changes

- 2026-10-30: Added from the named source to the Field Guide.

## Open questions

- Why could the Doolittle B-25s launch from a carrier without becoming carrier aircraft? That was a special operation by land-based bombers. They were not intended to land back aboard Hornet; launch capability and routine carrier operation are different things.
