Summary
edit_at_Midway_1942.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Japanese Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" Type 97 shipboard attack aircraft from the carrier Hiryu amid heavy anti-aircraft fire, during the torpedo attack on the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) in the mid-afternoon, 4 June 1942. At least three planes are visible, the nearest clearly having already dropped its torpedo. The other two are lower and closer to the center, apparently withdrawing. The smoke on the horizon in right center is from a crashed plane. It is possible that the object very close to the horizon, in center, is another attacking aircraft. |
