It wasn't as lucky as it seems. The dive bombers were able to dive straight down, almost vertically, with no risk of being shot down by the enemy Zero fighters (since they were drawn away by a previous attack).

It's more lucky that they didn't attack the same targets, than that they hit their targets.

Also, not directly relevant, but I'll plug this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd8_vO5zrjo&t=1s&ab_channel=... it's great.

I agree, that video series is very good. (And, among its sources it lists the Shattered Sword book recommended elsewhere in this thread)
