U.S. COAST GUARD
PHOTOGRAPH : Blasted from the sky, two Japanese airplanes give up the black
smoke of their death agonies in the midst of the American invasion fleet which
they attacked off Okinawa, the enemy air attacks, coming with fanatical fury a
few days after the Okinawa beachhead was secured, cost the Japanese many
airplanes as ships filled the sky with bursting metal from anti-aircraft guns.
