Photo #: 80-G-19205 Guadalcanal-Tulagi Operation, 7-9 August 1942 Crewmen of USS Ellet (DD-398) look at the floating wreckage of a Japanese Navy Type 1 land attack plane (a type later code named "Betty"), which crashed during the aerial torpedo attack on the Allied invasion force off Tulagi Island on 8 August 1942. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. Online Image: 136KB; 740 x 560 pixels Reproductions of this image may also be available through the National Archives photographic reproduction system. Note: Have YOU seen the original color transparency for this photo? The very good quality original Kodachrome transparency (bearing photo number 80-G-K-384) apparently "strayed" from National Archives' files sometime between 1972 and 1982. Anybody who could help recover it would perform a fine service for the historical community. |
