Tracer and smoke trails streak the sky

The whole picture is sky: thin white lines of tracer and smoke curve across it, some breaking into puffs, and near the centre a tiny aircraft crosses them; vertical scratches in the film run through the image. The fire of the ships' anti-aircraft guns formed such webs over a task force under attack from torpedo planes and dive bombers.
