Description: ORIGINAL WWII PHOTO - ORIGINAL TO THE TIME - NOT A COPY, SCAN, OR REPRO QUANTITY: 1 - See the other original WWI & WWII photos that I have listed. ITEM: Original WWII Photo of US Navy CV-13 USS FRANKLIN AIRCRAFT CARRIER Bombed by JAPANESE DIVE BOMBER off of Japan, March, 1945. FIGHTING FIRE ON FLIGHT DECK AS SEEN FROM SANTA FE. Came from a Sailor on the USS Franklin. Not a common commercial or press photo. From Wikipedia: "In March 1945, while launching strikes against the Japanese mainland, she was badly damaged when a single Japanese dive bomber struck her with two bombs. The attack resulted in the loss of 807 of her crew and Franklin became the most heavily-damaged United States aircraft carrier to survive the war. The complement of Franklin suffered 924 killed in action during the war, the worst for any surviving U.S. warship and second only to that of USS Arizona." SORRY.
