Great shot this!!!!!!!
GB54 I'll be doing an SBD-3 from VB-5, CVA-5 USS Yorktown. Lt. John J. Powers Medal of Honor awarded posthumously after the battle of the Coral Sea. His bomb struck the Shokaku from too low an altitude to pull up. Damaged by the explosion he crashed alongside the Shokaku. Would love to find the side code for his aircraft, I been looking.
