Summary
| Description |
English: A Japanese Mitsubishi A6M kamikaze plane hits the U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Suwannee (CVE-27) in the waters off the Philippines on 26 October 1944. Suwannee had already been hit by a kamikaze on 25 October 1944. Just after noon on 26 October, another group of kamikazes attacked. A Mitsubishi A6M crashed into Suwannee's flight deck at 1240 hrs and careened into a Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bomber which had just been recovered. The two planes erupted upon contact as did nine other planes on her flight deck. The resulting fire burned for several hours, but was finally brought under control. The casualties for 25–26 October were 107 dead and 160 wounded. The photo was taken from the USS Sangamon (CVE-26). |
