Brooke in his TBM Avenger right after the drop of his torpedo. The yellow streaks
are tracers from anti-aircraft fire. Zeros (shown by red lettering) are in the
area attacking him, and his plane is damaged (smoking and left elevator is shot
off). His torpedo is visible as the white streak heading toward the aircraft
carrier in the top left of the image. Brooke was shot down shortly after this
image was taken.
Brooke after his torpedo drop on his second mission. Zeros are in the area attacking
him. Anti-aircraft fire from enemy PT boats (one to either side of carrier)
has just shot off his rudder, which can be seen departing above and to the left
of his aircraft in the image.
Two Zeros are following Brooke's Avenger. One is directy behind Brooke firing
at him, but missing. Brooke's gunner is putting hits into that Zero, as shown
by flashes on the front of the Zero. Brooke's wing was shot off shortly after
this image, but he was able to bail out.
Brooke ended Frame 1 with bupkis (no torpedo hits, no kills, no assists).
