Opis:

A Japanese Type 99 Aichi D3A1 dive bomber (Allied codename "Val") trails smoke as it dives toward the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8), during the morning of 26 October 1942. This plane struck the ship's stack and then her flight deck. Two Type 97 Nakajima B5N2 torpedo planes ("Kate") are flying over Hornet after dropping torpedoes. Note anti-aircraft shell burst between Hornet and the camera, with its fragments striking the water nearby.
