RNZAF in action, Bougainville.

Hi Guys,

Here's a wee clip I saw on another forum. It shows RNZAF air strikes on Bougainville. Aircraft types in action include Dauntless, Avenger, Ventura and Kittyhawk, plus a few shots of other recogniseable types.

Those of you who made models in the 1970s and 1980s might remember Matchbox's 1/32 scale three colour Dauntless kit; the aircraft with the tail number '57', seen towards the end of the film, was featured as one of the options and was on the original box art.
