Iin the 50s the USN called it Seaman's Eye Bombing. Did it in P2Vs. Proptips
maybe 3 - 5 feet above the water. Damnably accurate!

Damnably impossible I'd say...the rules say 100 feet for 'pilot
bombing' and while this figure was likely (certainly) broken a
_few_ times nobody actually flew _knowingly_ with the prop tips
"3 to 5" feet above the water in a P2V. Trust me.
