This photograph was taken from B-25D "Herky" 41-30069 piloted by Captain Henry L. Knoll flying on its right wing. The Japanese ship was hit on the starboard midship by a skip bomb dropped by B-25D "Quitch" 41-30518 piloted by 1st Lt. Milford M. Symens and was credited with sinking the vessel. In the background is 75mm anti-aircraft fire from guns commanded by Japanese Army Captain Umanosake Mitatera that hit "Arkansas Traveler" causing it to crash.
