D3A Val History:
The Aichi D3A, Allied code name Val, was a World War II bomber produced by the Japanese company Aichi. It was the primary carrier-borne dive bomber in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early stages of the war, and participated in almost all actions, including Pearl Harbor.
Starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the D3A1 took part in all major Japanese carrier operations in the first ten months of the war. The type achieved fame during the Indian Ocean raid in April 1942 when the D3A1s scored with over 80% of their bombs during attacks on the British cruisers HMS Cornwall and HMS Dorsetshire and the carrier HMS Hermes.
When the Yokosuka D4Y Suisei became available, the D3A2s ended up with land-based units or operating from the smaller carriers. When American forces returned to the Philippines in 1944, land-based D3A2s took part in the fighting but were hopelessly outdated, and losses were heavy. By then many D3A1s and D3A2s were operated by training units in Japan. During the last year of the war the D3A2s were pressed back into combat for kamikaze missions.
In 1945, Indonesian guerillas captured numerous ex-Japanese air bases. Several D3As were captured, and most of the aircraft were destroyed between 1945 and 1949 when the former Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands were engaged in military conflict/police action in Indonesia.
