Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

NONE BUT THE BRAVE: Looks like the Betty is missing its port engine and on fire, but still making its attack run. 4th Kokutai lost fifteen of its seventeen G4M1s launched, making attacks against the Carrier USS Lexington. Ship in photo could be a US destroyer at flank speed. The Betty is within range of the ships onboard weapons.
