A U.S. Navy strike aircraft flies in close formation, captured on film from a nearby plane. This frame, from the Francis R. Ferry collection, is believed to document aircraft participating in the April 1945 strikes against the Japanese battleship Yamato, part of Operation Ten-Go, the last major sortie of the Imperial Japanese Navy's surface fleet in World War II.
