A swirling sheet of flame and white smoke mark the position of a Japanese torpedo plane

A swirling sheet of flame and white smoke mark the position of a Japanese torpedo plane shot down by US Navy a fire as it swooped low to torpedo the 25, 000-ton aircraft carrier (left),
The action followed a surprise raid by a US task force on the Japanese-held Marshall islands in the Central Pacific. Bursts of black smoke from exploding shells float above the sea behind the burning Japanese aircraft, which crashed a moment after this photograph was taken.
The torpedo attack was ineffective.
January 1944
