Amazing night pic. I can't believe the amount of antiaircraft fire they're putting up.
March 1945: Japanese
night raiders are greeted with a lacework of antiaircraft fire by the U.S. Marine defenders of Yontan airfield, on Okinawa during World War II. In the foreground are Marine Corsair fighter planes of the "Hells Belles" squadron standing silhouetted against the sky. (AP Photo)

It's over in the shadows to the left with the plane guard. Squint a little.
