This action shot of a Japanese kamikaze headed for California was taken on January 6, 1945 in the Lingayen Gulf. The photo was taken from the battleship Pennsylvania. Note the heavy volume of fire which would appear impenetrable for a low-flying aircraft.

Despite the volume of defensive fire directed against the approaching kamikaze, California, seen here astern of the battleship Pennsylvania, has just been struck. The explosion looks serious, but on this occasion damage was light, however, personnel casualties were heavy with almost 200 killed and wounded.
