Brought to Australia straight off the production line to help sell War Bonds. Later used to train Qantas pilots to fly Lancastrians. The RAAF had two Lancasters in Australia when the war ended. A66-1 was scrapped and A66-2 (W4783), a 90-mission veteran known around the country as G for George, was preserved at the Australian War Memorial. Photo from: National Archives of Australia

The only Beaufighter powered by Wright GR-2600 engines, The nacelles extended past the trailing edge of the wings to accommodate the larger engines. Conversion was a safeguard against disruption to the supply of Bristol Hercules engines for Australian-made Beaufighters. Performance was poorer than Hercules-powered aircraft and engine supply was not disrupted, so the project was dropped. A19-2, a British-built aircraft and a combat veteran, was scrapped.

Not a film set! The Mariner is from an early batch of unarmed transport aircraft. It has Second Series BuNo 6464 and wears the emblem of NATS on the nose. Photo apparently taken at Tarawa which was taken by US Marines in a bloody battle in November 1943. A seaplane base was established in the atoll's lagoon, supported by a seaplane tender.

Not a film set! The Mariner is from an early batch of unarmed transport aircraft. It has Second Series BuNo 6464 and wears the emblem of NATS on the nose. Photo apparently taken at Tarawa which was taken by US Marines in a bloody battle in November 1943. A seaplane base was established in the atoll's lagoon, supported by a seaplane tender.

The aircraft dump on an unknown airstrip on what is believed to be Bougainville. Another photo of this wreck says it is in the Solomon Islands at an unnamed location . However. a more detailed source says B-24 42-40533 in the background was written off landing on an unnamed fighter strip on Bougainville in January 1944. As this was drawn from US military records, this photo has been located in Papua New Guinea. Bougainville is part of the same archipelago as the Solomons .Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Minuscule serial applied to fin. "F3A-1" was the designation for the Brewster-built F4U-1. Just over 700 were built before Brewster was forced out of business. Poor production techniques and shabby quality control meant that these aircraft were red-lined for speed and prohibited from aerobatics after several lost their wings. This was later traced to defective wing fittings.

P-38s over the Aleutian Islands. 42-12908 belonged to the 344th Fighter Squadron, 343rd FG, based on Shemya Island in 1944. Joe Baugher's site gives 42-12908 as written off at Attu on 21 December 1943, but probably repaired instead and crashed near Attu on 5 December 1944. The 344th FS did not receive Lightnings until 1944. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life

Personal aircraft of Lt-General Millard Harmon. He died when C-87 41-24174 vanished without trace between Kwajalein and Hawaii. 41-24106 was built as a bomber and saw service with the 307th Bomb Group as "Stinky Pinky" before being converted to its VIP role. It was not a C-87. Photo from: RNZAF/Air Force Museum of New Zealand
