I was attacked about 100 miles off the coast of N. Queenland last night, by a Betty.
And the batteries don't last long enough to do a full day at PD/3kts.

I reckon they come straight towards you becuase they have radar, perhaps?! |
The planes did not have advanced-enough radar to compete with what the UK gave to the U.S. - so they were doing their flying by eye, instead of doing radar pings. Remember, this is 1941-1944.... There was no radar prior to 1943. (By then, they had developed primitive radar systems for the european theater pilots, they were never brought to the pacific theater if I recall correctly.)
