Вообще то клевый журнал World War II
Точно возгарание разлившегося топлива причина успеха японца. Перед этим амеры завалили 34 самолета японцев.

Structural damage was relatively minor, but a raging gasoline fire flared up in the wreckage of Mooney's plane and spread rapidly to the other five planes parked there. The quantity of gasoline dumped onto the hangar deck from the severed gasoline main is unknown, but those six fully fueled planes had held more than 2,500 gallons of high-test aviation gasoline. The bomb had created a 5-foot indentation around the small 15-inch hole, which acted as a funnel for the gasoline spilling onto the hangar deck, directing it into the lower decks where the fire raged. Within seconds of the explosion there were fires on the third deck over the after engine room, on the second deck, and in the hangar. Billowing black smoke from burning gasoline poured from every opening in the lower decks.
