These pilots are pleased over their victory during the Marshall Islands attack, and are pictured here grinning across the tail of an F6F Hellcat on board the U.S.S. Lexington. These men have just shot down 17 out of 20 Japanese planes heading for Tarawa. Photo taken by Commander Edward Steichen in November, 1943. |
