Digitally upscaled film stills and photographs from the Francis R. Ferry collection document the American carrier operations that ended the Japanese battleship Yamato on April 7, 1945. Helldivers ranged across the flight deck, Avengers in formation and the towering explosion itself frame one of the last great air-sea battles of the Pacific War.
