Dive Bomber Originated by Americans in Haiti Jungle
INS report recounts Marine Colonel Lawson H. Sanderson from Missoula Montana pioneering a dive bombing method in Haiti by tying a bomb in a flour sack to the aircraft. He tested by diving toward a target with a simple release, noted by German ace Ernest Udet later. Sanderson later set speed records and served at Guadalcanal, earning the DFC and Legion of Merit among others.
