The Army Sally bombers that participated in the final attacks on Bataan
at
the
end of March bombed from "9,600 yards" altitude and used a variety of
bombs
ranging from 50kg "daisy cutters" to 250kg demolition bombs, according to
these
debriefs, which consist of hundreds of pages of transcripts and
documents.
Hard to get decent accuracy from that altitude, so the US AAA must have
been
giving them fits.

Any confirmation of the story that a supply of proximity fuse AA shells
was
brought to Corregidor by submarine and then hoarded until the Japanese
planes
presented a nearly perfect target?



Given that none were available until 1943 it seems a tad unlikley.
