I wonder where this detailed information comes from... 75 mm shell explode in the cockpit? - it would rather cause a defragmentation of the entire plane.
Maybe a 20mm bullet from a Zero cannon, or another Hien?
But I could be wrong of course...
 
27th January 1045!! Had they had B-24s then, maybe the English would have won the "Battle of Hastings" in 1066!!

Must have had someone from the Australian Nat Archives doing the cataloguing that day.

According to them 73 Wirraway files were created before the NA33 was even designed - and quite a few are dated as created in 1800 - even when the description includes the earliest date the file could have been created.


Similar errors with Beaufort, Boston, Hudson and Kittyhawk files.



Worse still they have known of these errors for over five years but their motto is She'll be rite mate coz neer enuf is good enuf.
