WWII, Battle of Leyte Gulf,1944

Japanese aircraft carrier Zuiho under attack by planes from USS Enterprise during the Battle off Cape Engano, October 25, 1944. Japanese aircraft carriers Zuikaku (left center) and (probably) Zuiho (right) under attack by U.S. Navy dive bombers during the Battle off Cape Engano. Both ships appear to be making good speed, indicating that this photo was taken relatively early in the action. Both carriers are emitting heavy smoke. Note heavy concentration of anti-aircraft shell bursts in lower right and right, and a SB2C Helldiver diving in the lower left. (cropped and cleaned).
