This official US Navy caption card, dated October 25, 1944, documents the moment a Japanese aircraft crash-dived into the escort carrier USS Santee during the Battle off Samar -- one of the first organized kamikaze attacks of World War II. Preserved from the USS Petrof Bay's Air Department files and stamped 'Confidential,' it stands as a rare primary-source witness to the dawn of Japan's special attack tactics in the Pacific War.
