In this group of pictures we have an attack on a Japanese Cruiser in Rabaul 29 July 1943 (note bomb circled in red about to impact). Another devastating attack by a large number of aircraft with notes. For me, Image no.4 was fascinating as I'm pretty sure that is some of the crew clearly running for cover if you zoom in. A bombing crew from 6500 feet did a pretty good run on a Japanese Destroyer landing the bombs just behind, a lucky escape. And a Skip Bombing run on a Japanese sub-chaser scores a direct and devastating hit.
