English: Japanese Navy Type 1 land attack planes (Mitsubishi G4M1 "Betty") fly low through anti-aircraft gunfire during a torpedo attack on U.S. Navy ships maneuvering between Guadalcanal and Tulagi in the morning of 8 August 1942. Note that these planes are being flown without bomb-bay doors as they were carrying torpedoes. Of 23 attacking bombers, 17 were shot down, and one later crashed. They hit one destroyer and one aircraft crashed into a transport. |
