oops didnt mean 3 Sqn were first, just that in similar cirumstances around the same time they came up with a similar system to counter superior aircraft.
I think all good air fighters would resort to a system that gives some form of tactical advantage that compensates for the problems of having to do combat in inferior aircraft.
Incidentally while the USN and USMC were racking up huge scores in the central Pacific, 3 Sqn RAAF was the leading scoring allied squadron in North Africa. Kind of like following 1 Sqn AFC's footsteps.
