Though the photograph itself is not present here, this original caption card documents a flight deck mishap aboard the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay in February 1945, an aircraft identified as 'B-11' crashed with Lt.(jg) W.E. Green at the controls. Stamped confidential and restricted from publication by the Bureau of Aeronautics, this card is a small but telling artifact of the routine hazards faced by naval aviators operating from escort carriers during the intense final months of the Pacific War.
