Since Coral Sea spanned two days and Concerto in D asked me to do the SIMS, I decide to split the thread into two days.

Unfortunately it meant delaying the VE-DAY thread by one day after the event.

Lt. Powers' nick name was "Jo-Jo".

I didn't see it in the text provided. In "The First Team" it's noted that he lowered his landing gear and flaps to dive as slowly as possible. He promised to get a hit, and he did.

"The First Team" also notes that his plane was badly damaged well before he reached the bomb release point.

Oh, thank you so much for two days of information. I really appreciate your hard work.
