Summary
| Description |
English: Battle of Midway, 4 June 1942: While U.S. Navy Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Fisler circles the scene in his Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina, LCdr. Max Leslie prepares to ditch his Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless dive bomber from Bombing Squadron 3 (VB-3) near the heavy cruiser USS Astoria (CA-34) between 1342 and 1348 hrs on 4 June 1942. Lt.(JG) Paul A. Holmberg's plane sinks aft of Astoria as he and his gunner are picked up by the cruiser's No. 2 motor whaleboat. The two VB-3 planes ditched near Astoria after they were unable to land on the damaged aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5). Note the destroyer at left. |
