Summary

edit
  • Description: Catching a breather between landings of planes sent up from the U.S. aircraft carrier to intercept Japanese raiders flying to attack Marine and Navy ships at Tarawa, this deck crewman leans on the board he flashes at each returning warbird. "Any contacts?" is literally the $64M question in interceptions- radio silence must be maintained and upon the affirmative or negative image of the returning airmen depends many weighty decisions.
