Black smoke rises from a Japanese plan, hit by American bomb on the airstrip at Palau, during a U.S. Navy carrier task force assault on enemy bases in the Western Caroline Islands of the Central Pacific. TF 58 began bombing of Japanese airfields, shipping, fleet servicing facilities, and other installations at Palau, Yap, Ulithi, and Woleai in the Caroline Islands. TBFs and TBMs from USS Lexington (CV 16), USS Bunker Hill (CV 19), and USS Hornet (CV 12) bombed extensive minefields in and around the channels and approaches to the Palaus in the first tactical use of mines laid by carrier aircraft.
