Here is a remarkable photo of the Japanese attack on the Guadalcanal invasion transports in Savo Bay on 8 August 1942. Look how low these planes are flying! Posted Image Gregory

My dad did that for a living, for our side in the war. You had to really get down on the deck.Of course, he didn't actually see action until '43, and never got to drop a torpedo outside of practice - it was always glide bombing / strafing / rocket attacks for him.-Kle.
