Bunker Hill Hit by Kamikazes


<i>Bunker Hill</i> Hit by <i>Kamikazes</i>
The US Navy aircraft carrier Bunker Hill (CV-17) burning after being hit by a Kamikaze attack while operating off Okinawa on May 11, 1945. Photographed from Wilkes Barre (CL-103), which appears to have received fire damage herself helping to fight the blaze from alongside the carrier. A destroyer is off Bunker Hill's port side.
