Good onya Emeritus. It's great to hear from those that were there for our history.
Many who only heard stories get 'em wrong.
I'm lucky that I know one of the old blokes from the prewar New Guinea aviation scene, who I can ask about things we read about now. Best thing is he has all his marbles and remembers. Can't always rake up names on the spot but remembers 'em later and writes em down.
