This is an original 1944 black and white halftone print of a Japanese nave-bombing assault on an aircraft carrier near Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. The pilot in the Curtiss CB2C Hellnaver shown at left was lucky today, as the bomb dropped by the Japanese attacker missed, but scattered shrapnel across the flight deck.
