Original Toronto Star caption: This torpedo bomber crashed as it came aboard after returning from a raid on one of Japan's heavily bombed cities. It crumpled up its propeller when it struck the deck. The flight deck crewmen are beginning salvage operations on the plane while damage control squads; upper left; are examining gauged portions of the deck. Fortunately; this time for once; the crashed plane did not catch fire.
