Battle of the Eastern Solomons, 24 August 1942 The damaged and immobile Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo photographed from a USAAF B-17 bomber, during a high-level bombing attack on 24 August 1942. The destroyers Amatsukaze and Tokitsukaze had been removing her crew and are now underway, one from a bow-to-bow position and the other from alongside. Two "sticks" of bombs are bursting on the water, more than a ship-length beyond the carrier. The bow of the cruiser Tone is visible at the extreme right.
