"Z pokładu" ! You're wrong while R. Pawlikowski is right.


Explanation:
Z kontekstu wyraźnie wynika, że chodzi o samoloty USA wykonujące rozpoznanie i zwalczanie naziemnych celów celów japońskich. W działaniach przeciwko Japończykom, Amerykanie stosowali głównie Lotnictwo Marynarki Wojennej, a więc samoloty bazujące na lotniskowcach.
To właśnie z pokładu lotniskowca startowała na północ wspomniana załoga.
