The reverse of an official U.S. Navy photograph documenting an aircraft accident aboard the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) on 27 February 1945. Period caption information, handwritten by the ship's photographic section, identifies the incident as a crash involving Lt.(jg) W.E. Green, prepared for the carrier's Air Department. The 'Confidential' classification stamp and Bureau of Aeronautics publication restriction reflect the wartime practice of tightly controlling imagery of shipboard accidents and equipment losses.
