        Yes it did. What do you think all those aircraft were launched from? They sure as Hell didn’t fly all the way from the Japanese mainland (or whatever the closest Japanese land-based airfield was at the time)! They didn’t have the range for it: aircraft with ocean-crossing range didn’t start showing up until the Jet Age, after the war.
