US Carrier Versus Japanese Dive Bombers - Remarkable Action Pictures. US Naval cameramen did some good "shooting" as Japanese bombs splintered the flight deck of a US aircraft carrier not far from their apparatus. The carrier was threatened by fire, but firefighters attacked the flames, bringing their hoses across the exposed deck at the height of the attack. All the time the carrier's guns were throwing up everything they had at the Japanese raiders, who were beaten off. Picture shows:- Firefighters going into action with their hoses on the carriers flight deck.
