Famous WW2 Quote
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."Winston Churchill

NONE BUT THE BRAVE: Looks like the Betty is missing its port engine and on fire, but still making its attack run. 4th Kokutai lost fifteen of its seventeen G4M1s launched, making attacks against the Carrier USS Lexington. Ship in photo could be a US destroyer at flank speed. The Betty is within range of the ships onboard weapons.
