Came across this on youtube. Check out the ultra rare shots of RAAF P40E's, Hudson's, Beauforts and USAAF P39's - in colour :cool: Note the RAAF aircraft still have the red dot in the roundel, this was phased out in late '42.
 
Very good stuff but, "for the first time in the Pacific war a Japanese invasion force had been turned back." ????? How about Coral Sea and Midway, well before Milne Bay? Just goes to show that the media seldom gets things right.
 
Thanks. Our formidable enemy. I haven't seen Beaufighters in motion pictures before. A Ballanitine series book about the Kittyhawks at Milne Bay airstrip was translated and published in Japan early in the 70s and I read it, but this is for the first time I see what it was like. Very nice.
