Photograph of a Crewman Watching a Flash of Flame Burst from the Bow of a Gasoline Barge. Jap Bomb Touches Off Gasoline Barge Off Okinawa. From his battle station on a Coast Guard-manned LST, a crewman watches a flash of flame burst from the bow of a gasoline barge as Japanese planes score a direct hit in an attack upon the American task force off the coast of Okinawa. As American troops fanned out from the Okinawa beachhead, the Japs sent planes in desperate attacks against the Coast Guard-manned and Navy ships standing off shore.
