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.

The copyright is on the photo.

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