American LST's Burn Off Mindoro. Bombed by a Japanese plane, an LST burns under a cloud of black smoke rising from another LST hit by the enemy attackers during the amphibious landings on Mindoro in the Philippines. The Coast Guard-manned LST from which this picture was made also was under attack, but its gunners shot two of the Jap planes out the sky. An LCM came up to take the crew from the burning ship.
