How does Tan No. 2 compare with the single kamikaze that knocked USS Enterprise out of the war?
Short answerThe Enterprise attacker displayed exceptional skill, and a maneuver possible for one aircraft could not simply be assumed for a force of 54.
NotesA single aircraft could achieve an extraordinary result through a pilot's skill. The Enterprise attack is treated as such an exceptional performance. Its success did not establish that a formation of 54 aircraft could repeat the same maneuvers or produce comparable results.
