    aforementioned dive bombers were carrier-based, and this reflects the importance of dive bombers as part of a fleet air wing. It was simply not feasible to have aircraft large enough to be practical level bombers as part of the carrier’s complement-- special situations such as the Doolittle Raid notwithstanding. Furthermore, carriers groups were often tasked with attacking enemy fleets, which calls for a precision beyond that of level bombing but perfectly suited for the traits of dive bombers. While
