Guadalcanal-Tulagi Operation, August 1942: Allied ships maneuvering during the Japanese torpedo plane attack on the Tulagi invasion force, 8 August 1942. Several Japanese Navy Type 1 land attack planes (Mitsubishi G4M "Betty") are faintly visible at left, center and right, among the anti-aircraft shell bursts. The destroyer in the foreground appears to be USS <i>Bagley</i> (DD-386) or USS <i>Helm</i> (DD-388). A <i>New Orleans</i>-class heavy cruiser is in the left distance, with a large splash beside it. The column of smoke in the left center is probably from a crashed plane.
