Aircraft in Steep Dive Near U.S. Navy Ship During Combat, Pacific Theater, WWII (McAleer Album)
An aircraft dives steeply near a U.S. Navy vessel in this tense combat photograph from the Edward P. McAleer collection. Images like this, often taken hastily by sailors during air attacks in the Pacific Theater, document the danger faced by fleet crews during the intense kamikaze campaigns of 1944-1945. Project: 218137
