Four Grumman F7F Tigercats begin to pull out of their dive after screaming in to attack their objective with simulated demolition bombs. A geyser of water and sand spouts skyward during the detonation. This was taken at the Marine Corps Training School at Quantico, Virginia.

Exploding in a whirl, four static demolition charges simulating bombardment by the four Grumman F7F Tigercats veering out of the photo (upper left), conceal the hypothetical targets in the middle foreground.
