“Overall, one gets the impression of a commander who was unsure of himself and consequently inconsistent. In other words, just about the worst kind of commander imaginable, although one blessed with uncanny luck.”
― Scratch One Flattop: The First Carrier Air Campaign and the Battle of the Coral Sea
― Scratch One Flattop: The First Carrier Air Campaign and the Battle of the Coral Sea
“Nonetheless, it is reasonable to conclude that Fletcher did not lose the Battle of the Coral Sea at the tactical level, despite Morison’s judgment to the contrary, because he was sufficiently cautious most of the time and sufficiently lucky when he was not. Hardly a glamorous way to win a battle, but victory has never been a beauty contest.”
― Scratch One Flattop: The First Carrier Air Campaign and the Battle of the Coral Sea

“The Bombing Two Dauntlesses were launched with 12 percent less than maximum fuel, which would have critical impact later in the morning.”
