Picture of the day.

No info on this photo and credit not available. Just a P-38. Not sure of the variant, but would assume it is a early variant because the air intakes are not visible below the prop cones. Correct me if I am wrong.

The USS Shaw exploding during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The twisted remains of USS Shaw (DD-373) after her forward magazine had exploded. She was in the auxiliary floating drydock YFD-2 at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
What is kind of amazing is she was repaired and rebuilt with a new bow. She returned to service on August 31, 1942.

Pictures like this really bring home the human cost of the war. Realy bridges the span of time.
