HL Deb 16 March 1943 vol 126 c698
VISCOUNT TRENCHARD

My Lords, I beg leave to ask the question standing in my name.

[The question was as follows:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether information is available to say what percentage of dive bombers to other bombers were used in the recent annihilation of the Japanese warships and convoy in the Pacific.]

THE JOINT PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR AIR (LORD SHERWOOD)

My Lords, from the reports received it appears that no dive bombers were used in this action.
