ブーゲンビル島の戦い
After the Bougainville Campaign, Draper was assigned to the USS "Yorktown" (CV-10), and while on duty, painted the series of air attacks on Palau, the landings at Hollandia, and the airstrikes on Truk island. Draper also covered invasions of Saipan and Guam aboard the USS "Tennessee" (BB-43). During his tour on the Tennessee, the ship was hit three times by enemy fire, and they were forced to land at Guam.
