Good stuff. Please keep my on the list.
And for those who don't know their WWII history, our valient torpedo bomber crews did not die in vain. They pulled the Japanese CAP (combat air patrol, the fighter cover over the carrier battlegroup) down to the deck. When our dive bombers showed up, just after the torpedo bombers had been shot down, Japanese fighters had no altitude, and could do little to stop the dive bombers.
Ultimate result: 4 Japanese fleet carriers sunk, hundreds and hundreds of their experienced naval aviators lost, and the biggest turning point of our war in the Pacific against Japan.
