English: A damaged U.S. Navy Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless of Scouting Squadron 6 (VS-6, aircraft 6-S-5) on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6), 1 February 1942. Withdrawing after launching an attack against Kwajalein, Enterprise was attacked by five Japanese Mitsubishi G3M land-based bombers. Manning the flexible rear machine gun on an SBD-2 of bombing squadron VS-6, AMM Bruno Gaido attempted to help fight off the attackers. The wing of one of the disabled bombers severed the tail of Gaido's Dauntless, spreading burning gasoline across the deck before crashing into the ocean. For his heroism, Gaido was promoted and assigned duty as an aircrewman. Gaido was shot down with his pilot Ensign Frank W. O'Flaherty on 4 June 1942 and later picked up by the Japanese destroyer Makigumo. Circa 8-9 June both were murdered as they were tied to water-filled gasoline drums and dumped overboard.
