Babo Airfield Under Low Level Attack
This Zero appears to have had a gear leg failure on take off, its  drop tank still attached. Ground crews had removed the propeller and were attempting to jack it with an a-frame so it could be towed off the field, when an American air raid commenced, and they took cover.
