A powerful edition commemorating this historic battle, signed by legendary pilots who flew the SBD Dauntless in the Pacific Theatre. THE BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA. Commemorating the Battle of the Coral Sea Robert Taylor has chosen to portray the sinking of the Shoho in this dramatic painting. When Commander Weldon Hamilton, leading one of the Lexington's Dauntless squadrons, spotted the Shoho at 1040 on the morning of May 4th 1942, the Japanese carrier's fate was sealed.
