Down In Flames

take a look at the smoke and flames...my first impression was the photographer took the shot as the plane passed directly overhead.

But if the plane was in a steep dive, then the angle of the smoke and flames would be correct for that situation.

Sergeant E A R R Leaver's aircraft, V6034 'YH-D', can be seen (left) spinning out of control after hitting the ship's mast during his attack. The 21 year- old pilot and his crew, Sergeant I Overheu and Sergeant J Phelps, were all killed, although the "squealer" (a vessel equipped with radio to warn enemy shipping of impending aerial attack) was sunk.
