Special thanks to Tracy White at Researcher[at]Large for bringing this photograph to light. This aircraft was badly damaged in the crash but flight activities were so hectic with returning planes, there was no time to salvage parts from it before the deck was cleared of the airframe. Note the wood splinters on the flight deck at the lower left from where the propeller cut into the deck during the nose-over, the drag marks in the deck leading to the deck edge, the aircraft tugs acting as pushers. Note also some sort of debris floating past the ship to the right of the airplane and the patches in the flight deck in the lower right to cover damage sustained in an explosion one month earlier when a returning torpedo bomber with a loose bomb in its bomb-bay exploded after landing.
