Agree with you Ojcar on the Eastern Front thing...but in the Pacific Front the combat was sometimes at high altitude. For example, the Bettys attacking Port Moresby came at altitudes of like 6000m, same for the bombings of Rangoon and Guadalcanal "Tojo Time". Thats why the P-39 was so hated, it couldnt climb enough to combat the bomber formations. Now, dont know about the height of the Carrier Based planes flew, but the Ground based often flew high, in defence or in attack.
