What types of American planes were used in the battle of Iwo Jima?
Could someone please tell me what types of American planes were used in the battle of Iwo Jima?
In preparation for the invasion, B-24s operating out the Marianas bombed the island for 74 days. B-17's had transferred out of the Southern Pacific theater in 1943
However, U.S. intelligence noted that this had little impact and the Japanese defensive positions were getting stronger. Controversially, the U.S. Navy only provided three days of bombardment, rather than the ten requested by the Marines.
The Navy and Marines would have used TBM/TBF Avengers, F4U Corsairs, SB2C Helldivers, F6F Hellcats and a few F4F Wildcats running CAP
Close air support was initially provided by fighters from escort carriers off the coast. This shifted over to the 15th Fighter Group, flying P-51 Mustangs, after they arrived on the island on March 6.
