Description: The Royal Navy during the Second World War While making an emergency landing on board HMS VICTORIOUS, a Chance-Vought Corsair's auxiliary petrol tank became detached and burst into flames, setting fire to the undercarriage during the carrier-borne air attack against the Japanese repair and maintenance centre at Sigli, Sumatra. In the foreground men can be seen looking down on the aircraft from the bridge of the flight deck.
