Did this bomb kill the man who took this photograph?

Our last photo shows a Japanese bomb exploding on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise in 1942—a bomb that supposedly killed the photographer who took this shot. It didn't.

Yes, this incredible shot was taken by a brave American photographer documenting the Battle of the Eastern Solomons on August 24, 1942. But this particular bomb, despite its impressive spray, did only minor damage, and the man who took the shot wasn't hurt. This inaccuracy, however, can't be blamed on the internet. Apparently the photo was inappropriately labeled when it was archived by the U.S. military.

A photographer named Robert Frederic Read did die that day, along with 37 other men aboard the USS Enterprise. But he wasn't the man who took this particular photograph.
