Death of a Carrier" shows the sinking of a Japanese aircraft carrier from the air, one of the Pacific naval actions that the record ties to American air operations. The picture is a color halftone reproduction, and its copyright credit to Abbott Laboratories reflects how wartime illustrations of this kind were often produced by companies for widespread printing and distribution. By 1944, carrier aviation had become the decisive factor in Pacific sea battles, and the loss of Japanese carriers in mid-1944, such as at the Battle of the Philippine Sea, marked a turning point in the naval war.
