| Keywords: Lot 3124-15: Paintings of Naval Aviation during World War II: Abbott Collection. #99: “Death of Shoho” Artwork by Robert Benney. “In May 1942, the U.S. Navy participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea, in which the might of Naval Aviation shattered and turned back the spearhead of a Japanese battle force. Here, aflame from stem to quarter, the Japanese aircraft carrier Shoho falls victim to the lethal combat tactics of U.S. Navy dive and torpedo bombers. The Shoho plowed herself under within a period of minutes after dive and torpedo squadrons broke her back.” (7/10/2015).
